Edwin McCain
I’ll Be
[Verse 1]
The strands in your eyes
That colour them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
Emeralds from mountains
That first touch the sky
Never revealing their deaths

[Pre-Chorus]
And tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

[Chorus]
And I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love's suicide
And I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

[Verse 2]
Rain falls angry on the tinned roof
As we lie awake in my bed
You're my survival, you're my living proof
And love is alive and not dead
[Pre-Chorus]
So tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
(Ooh)

[Chorus]
And I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love's suicide
And I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

[Bridge]
And I've dropped out, I've burned up
I've fought my way back from the dead
And I've tuned in, I turned on
Remember the things that you, you say

[Chorus]
And I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love's suicide
And I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
And I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love's suicide
And I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
[Outro]
Ooh, greatest fan of your life
The greatest fan of your life
Life
