Оригинален текст
When the weight of the world bears
down so strong
You leave footprints on the street
And theres too many miles to face
Without a few more hours sleep
The storm clouds overhead wont
shed
Any rain to quench your thirst
I wanna be the one you reach for
first
When your faith is stretched so thin
That you can see straight through
your soul
And you cant find a nickel to buy a
smile
Cause your pockets all got holes
You wanna shut the door and hide
Before the day can get much worse
I wanna be the one you reach for
first
Chorus:
Fall into me
My arms are open wide
And you dont have to say a word
Cause I already see
That its hard and youre scared
And youre tired and it hurts
And I wanna be the one you reach
for first
I wanna be the bottle
Youve been drinking with your eyes
Or the road you run away on
Youve been running all your life
The third row pew
That you last knew as a child in
church
I wanna be the one you reach for
first
Repeat Chorus
Before you turn the key
Before you fall asleep
Before you drift away to fight those
demons waiting for you in your
dreams
Before your arms are stretched
wide open
Before you reach into the sky
Before youre searching for direction
And all the answers to your whys
Fall into me
Oh, my arms are stretched wide
open
You dont have to say a word
Because I already see
That its hard and youre scared
And youre tired and I know it hurts
Yes, its hard and youre scared
And youre tired and it hurts
And I wanna be the one you reach
for first
