Music & Lyrics: John Popper



What about the time

When you seemed to need a friend

Not to be your champion

At least I could pretend

And it took so long to know you

For me to finally see

In the midst of my confusion

When I tried to rescue you

You rescued me

You rescued me

You rescued me

You rescued me

You rescued me



I don't think me too conceited

But I didn't think you could

Or maybe just too used to solitude

Do you think anybody would

You welcomed me completely

Smiled at what was inside

When the game of hide and seek was over

And to my sweet surprise

I didn't need to hide

And you rescued me

You rescued me

You rescued me

You rescued me



I could tell you how you're beautiful

In every way that I know

Or admit how much I need you

How I need you not to go

But for me these things are difficult

Still battling with my pride

But there is some cause for hoping

Because though the battle isn't over

At least just now I tried

And you rescued me

You rescued me

You rescued me

You rescued me



And I ask you to be patient

These things are hard for me to say

And thought it took so long to stay Please, don't go away

If only, but if only, my face is turning red

Ah screw it, here goes nothing

I love you, I love you

And if now I'm feeling free

It's only because you rescued me

And you rescued me

You rescued me

You rescued me

You rescued me
