Something inside me has begun to glow
Looking for the lightswitch,
You grab my hand and we walk real slow
You're covering your ears from a world of happiness and sweet lament
I am right here to pull your hands away and hold them in mine
That's when I knew what 'us' meant
Refrain:
You helped me see, I helped you hear
The light so dark, the world unclear
Not knowing how to go along without you.
The times confused, memories all a blur
Smiles caught in photographs and benchseats of wonder.
Yes, it could all end, but one thing holds true
I could never stop loving you.
Always there to talk - curious to know what troubles me
Like a hand to wipe the sweat from my brow
Nothing compares to the feeling of having you resting in my arms
When you're tired and don't know how to hold the weight we've grown to know
It's so depressing that Mom's had to fill in the blanks
That dad left behind, leaving both of us lost
I can remember the day both of our hearts sank.
But I remember the day when I stood next to you,
Holding a script titled 'Life: The Latest Guide On How-To'
You just gave me a smile, threw my book away,
'Reading's not where life is,' you said, 'it's where you play
The cards you're dealt - lay 'em down for all the world to see.'
I remember the smile on my face when you said,
In the truck, in my arms you loved me.
Something tells me I'll never be alone
You are deaf, but hear my love
And I am blind, but see your soul
Crisscross sounds and pictures that are out of sight
Together, I will be your ears and you can be my eyes
We'll feel as one,
We'll think as one,
We'll move as one,
We will be one.
