Dan:

Can you tell me

What it is you're afraid of?

And can you tell me

Why I'm afraid it's me?

Can I touch you?

We've been fine for so long now,

How can something go wrong

That I can't see?

'Cause I'm holding on,

And I won't let go.

I just though you should know

I am the one who knows you,

I am the one who cares,

I am the ones who's always been there.

I am the one who's helped you,

And if you think that

I just don't give a damn,

Then you just don't know who I am.

Dan:

Could you leave me?

Gabe:

Hey dad, it's me.

Dan:

Could you let me go under?

Gabe:

Why can't you see?

Dan:

Will you watch as I drown,

Dan & Gabe:

And wonder why?

[Dan]

Are you bleeding?

[Gabe]

Are you waiting, are you wishing

Are you wanting all that she can't give?

[Dan]

Are you bruised?

Are you broken?

[Gabe]

Are you hurting, are you healing

Are you hoping for a life to live?

[Together]

Does it help you to know

That so am I?
