You don't have to leave tonight

I've just got to hold on tight

For one hell of a ride

And we lost it all just now

To the nights that left you out

So we'll let this go somehow

But you're gunna be proud

And I just needed you to pick me up 

Like you did when we were younger

When the lightning and the thunder

Had me clinging to your heart

For someone

To lift me up

When I'm down and I'm forgotten 

You'll forever be my father

And I'll be saving tears in jars for this one

How can I fit all these words

Into such a simple verse

It's the last time that we'll speak 

So listen to me please

And I just needed you to pick me up 

Like you did when we were younger

When the lightning and the thunder

Had me clinging to your heart

For someone

To lift me up

When I'm down and I'm forgotten 

You'll forever be my father

And I'll be saving tears in jars for this one 

Did you know that you're my heart

And it hurts to be apart

And this cut it hurts so deep

So sing me to sleep
