It was the longest sixty miles
That I have ever travelled.
No, I've never been this unraveled,
And I owe
It
All
To...
Me.
You will see...



'Cause I can't go down--
No, I won't go down.

And I've never been one to keep quiet for long,
And you never could have kept me from writing this song.
You inspired every word of it,
All by yourself.
I'll be the first to admit
I was as reckless and selfish...
And I've never been one to keep quiet for long,
And you never could have kept me from writing this song.
You inspired every word of it,
All by yourself.
I'll be the first to admit

'Cause I can't go down--
No, I won't go down.

And I've never been one to keep quiet for long,
And you never could have kept me from writing this song.
You inspired every word of it,
All by yourself.
I'll be the first to admit
I was as reckless and selfish...

The words come out in my head;
I think of what I wish I'd said
To make you feel that my arms
Were the first place you'd be...

The words come out in my head;
I think of what I wish I'd said
To make you feel that my arms
Were the first place you'd be,
If you could...


And I know this is sudden.
I would be far less obscure than I am.
And I know this is sudden.
I should be far less obscure than I am.
And I know this is sudden.
I should be far less obscure than I am.
And I know this is sudden.
I should...
