You don't walk alone Maybe this place doesn't feel like home Those hands you feel are holding you up You say, "soon I will know who I am" And you may be right but there's time for that For now you can have any part of me Oh, for right now I'll kneel with you And shield you from the blows I'll kneel with you Oh, for all time I'll kneel with you Until your dreams make sense I'll kneel with you Maybe I was sent down Cuz you've been riding through town like there's nothing to lose Lower your center of gravity, that might be true There's a breeze today And you're looking so thin it might blow you away Those hands you feel are holding you down Oh, for right now I'll kneel with you And shield you from the blows I'll kneel with you Oh, for all time I'll kneel with you Until your dreams make sense I'll kneel with you Until this place feels like home Until you stand up and your face catches the sunlight

By the time I got your letter I fell right out of my skin Forget about how I'm feeling you should see the state I'm in Acting like a child to maybe take hold of your heart I'm afraid I've given it all up and this song is all I got Yeah there are eyes, there are eyes upon you and not only mine Yeah but I could love like I loved, like I loved you, baby, the first time So don't give yourself away across the page You're not fooling anyone saying you don't care You're not fooling anyone with all the vacant stares Yeah there are eyes, there are eyes upon you and not only mine Yeah but I could love like I loved, like I loved you, baby, the first time So don't give yourself away across the page It's alright...

You'll walk in before me In the same skin We'll breathe in together And breathe out again I'll sing this song for us If it's all we can have We'll just go on and on and on With an ache in our hands To the grave is the only way Is ours the kind that stays through the seasons? Can we see it through? Just throw your arms around me Before you break down And just don't walk in silence When I am around And I'll sing this song for us And the way we break down For all the things we'll trade to stay here Two feet off the ground Will it go on and on and on? Will it go on and on and on? To the grave is the only way Is ours the kind that stays through the seasons? Can we see it through?
