The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful 

Stop me and steal my breath 

Emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky

Never revealing their depth

And 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 fan of your life



*Rain falls angry on the tin roofs

We lie awake in my bed

Your my survival, your my living proof that love is alive and not dead

So tell me 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've dropped out

I've burned up

I fought my way back from the dead

Tuned in

Turned on

Remembered the things 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 fan of your



And I'll

I'll be love's suicide

And I'll be better when I'm older

I'll be the greatest fan of your life
