I'll Be (Acoustic Version) Lyrics

The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful

 Stop me and steal my breath

 Emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky 

 Never revealing their depth 

 Tell me that we belong together 

 Dress it up with the trappings of love 

 I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips 

 Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above 

 I'll be your cryin' shoulder 

 I'll be love suicide 

 I'll be better when I'm older 

 I'll be the greatest fan of your life 

 Rain falls angry on the tin roof 

 As we lie awake in my bed 

 You're my survival, you're my living proof 

 My love is alive and not dead

 Tell me that we belong together

 Dress it up in the trappings of love

 I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips

 Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

 I've dropped out, burned up, fought my way back from the dead

 Tuned in, turned on, remembered the thing you said
