I Wanna Be The One

Were you named for the river that surrounds all my biggest mistakes Or the way that I made it out All the muscles in my mouth never smiled or said profound things Until the day she handed you to me For all the steps you`ll take and all you`ll overcome I wanna be the one to put it in a song Take every single tear for all the world to hear I wanna be the one to put it in a song Cigarettes are raining hard on the upper east side She brings me a cake we celebrate I have arrived And I know that it`s been sang before but you`re my human holiday I put my hands to the table and dare to say the love of my life And your brother with his best friend share the name of an inebriate that couldn`t bring me down For everything you`ve lost and all you`ve overcome I wanna be the one to put it in a song Take every single tear for all the world to hear I wanna be the one to put it in a song And make it last forever Clever comes from truth When the truth begets the past it sends a call up to the moon and the moon can see the beauty that surrounds Your heart as it pounds It starts the beat inspiring me Until I make a sound
