I will crawl away
wander the plains
disappear into the fog
following the beat
of my own drum
but I will always come back here
because I love you

I share you with the world
but I keep you in a box beneath my bed
and next to my chest
all the world's love
is never enough
I feel no need to justify
Just you, the sound, and I
And I love you

like the big brother I never had
you taught me how to cuss
at the ones who tried to change me
I never let them break me
your hand on the breeze
vivid august dreams
I love you

everybody's asking why
but I already know
and if they didn't get it then
then I dont think they ever will
I dont care about the dissadents
they just don't appreciate
sh*t on your voice, your life, your dress
I dont care if no one else does
I love you

You dont even know my name
But I dont mind
because you gave me all I need
to carry the torch
and set it burning free
and maybe you saved my life
I love you
and in my loneliest nights
I know you love me

Next year it will be my turn
Rise and fall and crash and burn
I know its my fate and
I dont regret it for a minute
you made your choice
and I respect it
now I sew my song into the dirt
and launch it towards a passing star
maybe you'll hear it, wherever you are
I love you
