I'd Give It All for You
I had a house while you were gone
The week after you left me, I found a couple acres
Near Sarilla Park
I had a house while you were gone
A house with silver shutters
And a driveway laid in marble
And thousands of rooms to fill
And miles of space to fly
And I tried to believe it
It was better without you
I was safer alone
No, I'd give it all for you
I'd give it all for you by my side once more
Oh, I'd give it all for you
I'd give it all to hold you again
To feel I'm completed
To know there and then that all that I needed
Was you to fight the fear
And now, you're here
I took a trip while I was gone
I cashed in all my savings and bought an Eldorado
Drove to Tennessee
I took a trip while I was gone
I drove across the country and I stopped at lots of diners
And stared at a million stars
And thought I could touch the sky
And I tried to believe it
It was better without you
I was finally free
No, I'd give it all for you
I'd give it all for you by my side once more
Oh, I'd give it all for you
I'd give it 'cause the mountains I climb get higher and higher
I'm running from time
And walking through fire
And dreams just don't come true
But now there's you
God knows it's easy to hide
Easy to hide from the things that you feel
And harder to blindly trust what you can't understand
God knows it's easy to run
Easy to run from the people you love
And harder to stand and fight for the things you believe
Nothing about us was perfect or clear
But when paradise calls me
I'd rather be here
There's something between us
That nobody else needs to see
There were oceans to cross
There were mountains to conquer
And I stood on the shore
And I stood on the cliff
And the second before I jumped
I knew where I needed to be
Oh, I gave it all for you
I gave it all for you by my side once more
Oh, I gave it all for you
I gave it 'cause it's harder to touch
The things that are dearer
I love you too much
To trust something clearer
I know I fell too far
But
Here you are
The week after you left me, I found a couple acres
Near Sarilla Park
I had a house while you were gone
A house with silver shutters
And a driveway laid in marble
And thousands of rooms to fill
And miles of space to fly
And I tried to believe it
It was better without you
I was safer alone
No, I'd give it all for you
I'd give it all for you by my side once more
Oh, I'd give it all for you
I'd give it all to hold you again
To feel I'm completed
To know there and then that all that I needed
Was you to fight the fear
And now, you're here
I took a trip while I was gone
I cashed in all my savings and bought an Eldorado
Drove to Tennessee
I took a trip while I was gone
I drove across the country and I stopped at lots of diners
And stared at a million stars
And thought I could touch the sky
And I tried to believe it

I was finally free
No, I'd give it all for you
I'd give it all for you by my side once more
Oh, I'd give it all for you
I'd give it 'cause the mountains I climb get higher and higher

And dreams just don't come true

God knows it's easy to hide
Easy to hide from the things that you feel

The things that are dearer
I love you too much
To trust something clearer
I know I fell too far
But
Here you are
