I'll be

The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful, Stop me and steal my breath. And emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky Never revealing their depth. Tell me that we belong together, Dress it up with the trappings of love. I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips, Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above.

And I'll be your cryin' shoulder, I'll be love's suicide. And I'll be better when I'm older, I'll be the greatest man of your life.

And rain falls angry on the tin roof As we lie awake in my bed; you're my survival, you're my living proof; My love is alive, not dead. Tell me that we belong together, Dress it up with the trappings of love. I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips, Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above.

And I'll be your cryin' shoulder, I'll be love's suicide. And I'll be better when I'm older, I'll be the greatest man of your life.

And I dropped out, I burned up, I fought my way back from the dead, I tuned in, I turned out, remembered the thing that you said.
And I'll be your cryin' shoulder, I'll be love's suicide. And I'll be better when I'm older, I'll be the greatest man of your life.
The greatest man of your life.
