I Wanna Be the One

[00:27.48] Were you named for the river that surrounds
[00:34.83] All my biggest mistakes?
[00:37.20] Or the way that I made it out?
[00:40.54]
[00:43.12] All the muscles in my mouth
[00:46.93] Never smiled or said profound things
[00:50.98] Until the day she handed you to me, now
[00:58.77] For all the steps you'll take
[01:02.25] And all you'll overcome
[01:04.39] I wanna be the one to put it in a song
[01:08.33] Take every single tear
[01:10.47] For all the world to hear
[01:12.76] I wanna be the one to put it in a song
[01:16.68]
[01:22.75] Cigarettes are raining hard
[01:26.33] On the upper east side
[01:29.25]
[01:31.65] She brings me a cake, we celebrate
[01:34.84] I have arrived
[01:39.30] And I know that it's been sang before
[01:42.36] But you're my human holiday
[01:45.33]
[01:47.97] I put my hands to the table and dare to say
[01:50.91] ["The love of my life"]
[01:55.08] And your brother with his best friend
[01:59.65] Share the name of an inebriate
[02:03.21] That couldn't bring me down
[02:05.13] For everything you've lost
[02:07.11] And all you've overcome
[02:09.17] I wanna be the one to put it in a song
[02:13.09] Take every single tear
[02:15.19] For all the world to hear
[02:17.49] I wanna be the one to put it in a song
[02:20.82] And make it last forever
[02:24.23] Clever comes in truth
[02:28.28] When the truth begets the past
[02:31.25] It sends a call up to the moon
[02:35.24] And the moon can see the beauty that surrounds
[02:40.30] Your heart as it pounds
[02:44.39] It starts the beat, inspiring me
[02:48.32] Until I make a sound
[02:52.69]
[02:59.08] I wanna be the one
[03:01.65] I wanna be the one
[03:03.72] I wanna be the one
[03:08.21] For everything you've lost
[03:10.12] And all you've overcome
[03:12.19] I wanna be the one to put it in a song
[03:15.47] Take every single tear
[03:17.55] For all the world to hear
[03:19.74] I wanna be the one to put it in a song
[03:23.23]
