If You Were Mine

So here I am, I sweep the floors

shut off the lights and lock the doors

I try to tell you everything

feels good to know you're listening

I would be there forever if I could

I would hold on for bad or for good

I would be there as close as your soul

I would be there forever and ever

For you, for me, forgive, I need, within, without

too high, to count, to see, for you, for me, forever

And if you were mine

I'd be the bridge for your soul

And if you were mine

We could tell the world forever good-bye

I don't have much to say

but it takes a long time to get it out

I feel like I'm not being honest

if I don't ask you sometimes what you're talkin' about

Just like everybody I'm cold in the winter

and I sit still and I wait for the dawn

I sometimes crawl around under my conscience

and I wonder where it's all coming

and everybody wants to be somebody

Well I just want to it make through this song

and wonder what it's like to know where you're going

and then I wonder what planet I'm on

And I just laugh when I'm happy

and I just cry when I'm sad

and I feel the weight of prejudice

and I wonder what's so free about this land

And I just hold on
