When the weight of the world bears down so strong,
You leave footprints on the street,
And there's too many miles to face,
Without a few more hours sleep,
The storm clouds overhead,
Won't shed any rain to quench your thirst,
I wanna be the one you reach for first.
When your faith is stretched so thin,
that You can see straight through your soul,
And you can't find a nickel to buy a smile cause your pockets all got holes,
You wanna shut the door and,
Hide before the day can get much worse,
I wanna be the one you reach for first.
Fall into me.
My arms are opened wide,
And you don't have to say a word,
Cause I already see,
That its hard,
And you're scared,
And you're tired
And it hurts,
And I wanna be the one you reach for first.
I wanna be the bottle you've been drinkin' with your eyes,
Or the road you run away on.
You've been runnin' all your life,
The third row pew that you last knew,
As a child in church.
I wanna be the one your reach for first.
Fall into me.
My arms are opened wide,
And you don't have to say a word,
Cause I already see,
That its hard,
And your scared,
And your tired,
And it hurts,
And I wanna be the one you reach for first.
Before you turn the key!
Before you fall asleep!
Before you drift away,
To fight the demons waiting for you,
In your dreams!
Before your arms stretched wide open!
Before you're reach into the sky!
Before you're searching for direction!
And all the answers to your whys!
Fall into me!
Oh, my arms are opened wide.
You don't have to say a word,
Cause I already see,
That its hard,
And you're scared,
And your tired
And it hurts,
And I wanna be the one you reach for first
