Lyrics of I wanna be the one

Were you named for the river that surrounds
All my biggest 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.

For all the steps you'll take
And all you'll 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.

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 to say...
"the love of my life?"

And your brother with his best friend
Share the name of an inebriate
That couldn't bring me down!

For everything you've lost,
And all you've 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 from truth.
When the truth begets the past
It sends a call up 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 a sound.
