Lyrics

I Wanna Be The One

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Were you named for the river that surrounds

All my biggest my mistakes or the way that I made it out

All the muscles in my mouth never smiled or said profound things

Until the day she handed you to me

Now for all the steps you'll take and all you'll overcome

I wanna be the one to put in a song

Take every single tear for all the world to hear

I wanna be the one to put it in a song

Cigarettes are raining hard on the Upper East Side

She brings me a cake we celebrate I have arrived

And I know that it's been sang before but you're my human holiday

I put my hands to the table and dare say the love of my life

And your brother with his best friend

Shares a name I'm gonna need

Really couldn't bring me down

For everything you lost and all you overcome

I wanna be the one to put it in a song

Take every single tear for all the world to hear

I wanna be the one to put it in a song and make it last forever

Clever comes in truth when truth begets the past

Its sends its call out to the moon

And the moon can see the beauty that surrounds your heart as it pounds

It starts the beat inspiring me until I make the sound

I wanna be the one, I wanna be one, I wanna be the one

For everything you lost and all you overcome

I wanna be the one to put it in a song

Take every single tear for all the world to hear

I wanna be the one to put it in a song
