Normally I don't cross the line like this

I hope I'm not coming off self-righteous

You only met me tonight

Feel free to stop me any time

But if it was me

I'd put your heart on a mantel

Protect you from what you're not strong enough to handle

I'd never leave 'til the tears are dry

I'm there for you tonight

And every other night.

'cause baby I know

Love's just a pattern of ups and downs

You need someone who wants

To keep you safe and sound

Someone who won't get tired

Through the rain and fire

Baby I know

And I won't ever give the run around

I'll be the one that's always gonna stand the ground

Promise I won't get tired

Through the rain and fire.

Normally I wouldn't carry on with you

But she's nowhere to be found in the picture

I see the sad in your eyes

But feel free to stop me any time

But if it was me

I'd hold your heart in a glass case

Instead she got you feeling like you're in last place

Let me stay 'til the tears are dry

I'm here for you tonight

And every other night.

'cause baby I know

Love's just a pattern of ups and downs

You need someone who wants

To keep you safe and sound

Someone who won't get tired

Through the rain and fire

Baby I know

I won't ever give the run around

I'll be the one that's always gonna stand the ground

Promise I won't get tired

Through the rain and fire

Through the rain and fire.

It's amazing how I can look in your eyes

And tell that you haven't been satisfied

For a long time

If she just can't deliver

I can do it better

Let me summarize

It's amazing that we only met tonight

And I don't mean to bother

But you seem like an angel

That's longing to be free tonight

I'll be your alibi.

Baby I know

Love's just a pattern of ups and downs

You need someone who wants

To keep you safe and sound

Someone who won't get tired

Through the rain and fire

Baby I know

I won't ever give the run around

I'll be the one that's always gonna stand the ground

Promise I won't get tired

Through the rain and fire

Through the rain and fire.
