Drop Everything

She caught my eye on the back of the bus
A pretty young thing from a little lone town
Leaving, 'cause it wasn't enough
She told me she's high on a mission to love
Wearin' her heart right out on the sleeve
Acting like she's having fun

Well, let's pretend for a minute she was happy
Not a care in the world
Just a smiling face
I can see she's headed for a tragedy
I wanna save the girl
But it's not my place

I wanna ask her

What would you do if you weren't afraid?
We could drop everything
Drop everything and run away
Tell me what would you do if I called your name?
We could drop everything
Drop everything and leave today

Well, it's been about five or six months
Ran into her late night, working downtown
Living right under the gun
She kills me
The same sweet girl from the back of the bus
Baby on the way, but she's living alone
'Cause a man ain't man enough

Oh
I pretend for a minute she was happy
Not a care in the world
Just a smiling face
I can see she's livin' in a tragedy
I wanna save the girl
Is it my place?
I think I'll ask her

What would you do if you weren't afraid?
We could drop everything
Drop everything and run away
Tell me what would you do if I called your name?
We could drop everything
Drop everything and leave today

I need to know
Are you ready to admit
That the fear that's keeping you here
Is breaking your heart
Breaking you down
Breaking your will

I'm ready to go
But I need you to admit
It's the fear that's keeping you here
Breaking your heart
Breaking you down
Breaking your will

Darlin'
I can see you shaking, don't know what to say
You can drop everything
Drop everything that caused you pain
I can be a comfort, but you choose your fate
Want to drop everything
Drop everything and run to me

What would you do if you weren't afraid?
We could drop everything
Drop everything and run away
Tell me what would you do if I called your name?
We could drop everything
Drop everything and leave today
