I’ve been loving you for awhile now, turned your colors in the light
Amber glass beside the ocean, the sand that lightning strikes
And I watch you by the water, throw your voice into the wind
But ain’t no comfort in an echo, that don’t come back again
And babe I’ve been a lot of things, a hero and a fool
But none of them compare to being someone next to you
And your eyes are tired and hungry, waiting on a sunny day
Looking out the cloudy window, at the never ending rain
But i’ve seen you light on fire, and I know you will again
It’s just the way your heart is wired, just the way you’ve always been
And babe I’ve been a lot of things, I’m proud of just a few
But none of them compare to being someone next to you
This house is rust and wreckage, holding on by just a hope
But I believe in dust and magic, and every word you ever wrote
All the reasons that you wake up, all the reasons that you dream
All the beautiful conditions of a man up in flame
And babe i’ve been a lot of things, and most of them were true
But none of them compare to being someone next to you
