I'll Be There

I stayed up drinking in the basement
While you were sleeping all alone
You let me sleep in while you were pacing
Probably chewed your fingers to the bone

I should have been there when you woke up
I should have been there when you were scared
I should have been there when you needed me
I should have been there

And so we drove to the hospital
You said everything would be just fine
So I drove home to pack my clothes
Like you do yours and I'll do mine

I should have been there when the earth started to tremble
I should have been there when you were scared
I should have been there when you needed me
I should have been there

Your eyes looked black when you tried them for the first time
And they rushed you off to make sure that you were fine
As you laid upon your mother's chest I made a promise to myself that I'd be there

I'll be there when you wake up
I'll be there when you're scared
I'll be there when you need me the most
I'll be there
