"To Know You Were Mine" lyrics

I drive around just to feel something but my patience is running thin
Waiting on me to let you break my heart
I wish that I would call you up, tell you about all my love
And how I'd love to hold you in my arms

I could make it to you with a tank of gas, I just ain't got the guts to ask
If I could come on down and see you, babe
Take you out on the town, you wear your white dress, let your hair down
So I'll just sit here alone today

I'd play you all your favorite songs until my fingers all fell off
But even then I'd sing to you all night
Tell me what you need from me and that's exactly what I'll be
And do my best to ease your pretty mind

Lift you up when you feel weak
Pick you up from off your knees
Keep you young when you feel old
Keep you warm when it gets cold
Oh...
Crawl to you through broken glass
Break a sweat and bust my ass
Swim to you through stormy seas
Walk barefoot through desert heat
Oh...

I'd break my bones just to walk you home
Sell my car and sell my phone
Leave this bullshit all behind
Just to know that you were mine

It's been years since I've felt your gaze, since you went off and moved away
But even now I'd find you in a crowd
Dance with you to a Flatland song and make up for all the time we've lost
Listen to all the things that keep you down

Lift you up when you feel weak
Pick you up from off your knees
Keep you young when you feel old
Keep you warm when it gets cold
Oh...
Crawl to you through broken glass
Break a sweat and bust my ass
Swim to you through stormy seas
Walk barefoot through desert heat
Oh...

I'd break my bones just to walk you home
Sell my car and sell my phone
Leave this bullshit all behind
Just to know that you were mine
