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 



I'll be your cryin' shoulder 

I'll be love's suicide 

I'll be better when I'm older 

I'll be the greatest fan 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 and 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 



I'll be your cryin' shoulder 

I'll be love's suicide 

I'll be better when I'm older 

I'll be the greatest fan of your life 



And I've dropped out, I've burned up 

I fought my way back from the dead 

Tuned in, turned on 

Remembered the things that you uh said 



I'll be your cryin' shoulder 

I'll be love's suicide 

I'll be better when I'm older 

I'll be the greatest fan of your... 

I'll be your cryin' shoulder 

I'll be love's suicide 

I'll be better when I'm older 

I'll be the greatest fan of your life 



The greatest fan of your life
