I watched you run away and close your eyes like you were just sleeping
And maybe it's true that you dream better when the road's behind you
But I saw you pick apart all them daily truths
That could always get to you
I know that you were watching me watching you
I heard you shake the dice and bow out
Like a criminal pissed at the rain
And maybe it's true that you feel better when you can kiss that pain
But I saw in you a galaxy of unspoken things
When you looked in the mirror
And I knew that we were looking at the same damn thing
So I say
Let me be your guardian light when you walk the night
Let me show you everything I learned when your back was turned
Let me be the tree you lean upon when your feet grow weary
Let us live life everywhere we turn
Cause we say
