When life throws you too much to handle
Give it to me and we'll share the mantle
Listen to the world around you
and know that I will not drop you
I love the smell of your hair and the light in your eyes
Together, maybe we can rise
Out of the lot we were given
Make the most of our situation
Give me half of your smile and I could turn the night to day
If I had an ounce of your strength, I could relieve Atlas.
And if you read my head for one second,
You'd hear your name a thousand times
You'd see your face from my eyes, and know that I see past your facade
You'd hear every word you ever said to me and know just how loud you are
You feel the safety of your arms
and you would never let me go.
