Got Me Good

It's not workin', but I wish it would.
She don't care about the things she should.
I don't know how she got me, but I know she got me good.
She's wakin' me up, but I'm wakin' up slowly,
I'm talkin' her up, but I still sound lonely.
If only she could show me all the sadness that she shakes when she bends until she breaks,
and just hear me when I say that,

"You, whenever you fall. Wherever you go,
I'll catch you. I'll pick you up and carry you home."

She's bright eyed with a brilliant smile.
She's opening up, but it could take awhile.
I'd walk a hundred miles of wrong just to try and make it right.
I wondered at first, but now I know I'm sure
in every line and every single word of every song she's ever heard.
She's falling in love with the way that I'm taking her through the day.
Believe me when I say to you,

"Whenever you fall. Wherever you go,
I'll catch you. I'll pick you up and carry you home."

I'll be the nights that give you sleep,
I'll be the days that lie between,
I'll be the world beneath your feet -
If you let me.
I'll be the only love you'll need -
If you get me.

"Whenever you fall. Wherever you go,
I'll catch you. I'll pick you up and carry you home."
