Tim King - The Chasm

We're going to walk a mile
Maybe to talk a while
And I'll pretend that I am some kind of cavalier
I'm gonna make a joke
One that I thought I wrote
You're gonna roll your eyes so hard
That they disappear
To know the score, I've been keeping count
Of all the ways that I could have drowned
But you saved me
And that number is not one I can pronounce
I want to be there when it's over
I want to be there when it starts
I wanna be your everything if you will let me
I'll put the weight up on my shoulders
And carry all our battle scars
Even if I am damaged far beyond repairing
You saved me from the chasm in my soul
Without you I don't think I'll make it home
We're gonna walk it back
Rewind and play the track
Before we even had tomorrow worth fighting for
My friend had made the plan
To introduce us and
A cold November Sunday we came to your back porch
You gotta know that I knew right then
The bitter chill out at two am
It was perfect
And I would not trade that night for anything
I want to be there when it's over
I want to be there when it starts
I wanna be your everything if you will let me
I'll put the weight up on my shoulders
And carry all our battle scars
Even if I am damaged far beyond repairing
Sitting on the sideline
Waiting for the right time
I apologize; it never seems I'm in my right mind
Look at what we lived in
Nothing will diminish
Past, present, and future all converging to the finish
Maybe if I just close my stupid mouth
The perfect words will make their presence found
I want to be there when it's over
I want to be there when it starts
I wanna be your everything if you will let me
I'll put the weight up on my shoulders
And carry all our battle scars
Even if I am damaged far beyond repairing
You saved me from the chasm in my soul
Without you I don't think I'll make it home
