Let Me Be The One (Live at Lowercase Books, Knoxville, Tennessee) Lyrics

Tripping and falling on unset expectations

Crossing my two left ring fingers 'round yours

Because your room, your arms, they're like a sanctuary

Babe, let me be the one you're waiting for

I know it's not really easy to love me

My scars paint landscapes of internal war

Trade my self-hatred for honest self-reflection

Let me be the one you're waiting for

When I fall asleep, it's of you that I dream

And I know I'll never hurt you anymore

I swear I'm trying hard to make improvements

Babe, let me be the one you're waiting for

I know I cannot ask you for forever

I'd be lucky just to have a few days more

I can't contract your brand of self-awareness

Babe, let me be the one you're waiting for

Who would I be without your inspiration

My love for you calms all that's been before

It's my guard, my one true friend, my close religion

Babe, let me be the one you're waiting for

If we are still together when the sun sets

Let neither of us feel how we've before

I'll fade away having served my purpose

And be glad that I'm the one you waited for
