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 open wide and you don't have to say a word 'Cause I already see That it's 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 drinking with your eyes Or the road you run away on You've been running all your life
The third row pew that you last knew As a child in church I wanna be the one you reach for first
Fall into me My arms are open wide and you don't have to say a word 'Cause I already see That it's hard and you're scared and you're tired and it hurts And I wanna be the one you reach for first
Before your turn the key Before you fall asleep Before your drift away to fight those demons Waiting for you in your dreams
Before your arms are stretched wide open Before you're reaching for the sky Before you're searching for direction And all the answers to your why's
Fall into me Well, my arms are stretched wide open, you don't have to say a word Because I already see That it's hard and you're scared and you're tired and I know it hurts Yes, it's hard and you're scared and you're tired and it hurts And I wanna be the one you reach for first
