Lyrics
I'll Be There Michael Ryan Carr / SOCAN
Been around just long enough
To know my way and know my stuff
Although it seems the more I learn the less I know
And once bitten and twice shy, I'm such an ordinary guy
I guess I'll start to wonder why after I go
But if one more thing goes wrong today
I'll lock myself inside and stay away from
All my windows and my doors.
It's a shame that I have lost myself I don't know
Where to look to find the life that I had built so carefully
But I'll write you if I come up with some lead or just some clue
That ever helps to track down just what became of me
If I find the life that I had led, I'll lock it up inside my head
And this time I'll try not to let go
Telling me that I am lost, is just not helping me
Least of all my worries as far as I can see
Shouldering the blame
Isn't it a shame
If you find me Let me know and I'll be there.
I've been drifting in and out between dreams and reality
Sometimes don't know which is which and what is more,
When I lose my way inside my head just halfway round the bend
I'll need some help to pick me up off of the floor
But if one more thing goes wrong today
I'll lock myself inside and stay away
From all my windows and my doors
Telling me that I am lost, is just not helping me
Least of all my worries as far as I can see
Shouldering the blame
Isn't it a shame
If you find me Let me know and I'll be there.
If you find me, Let me know and I'll be there
If you find me, Let me know and I'll be there
