I kept it all inside
For way too long
Now I'm splitting at the seams
There's a battle waging on inside of me
We walk through winding woods
In search of peace
Well it's growing hard to find
On Days like these
Who's gonna save me if I can't help myself
Who's gonna spin you on the dance floor
Who's gonna turn off all the lights when you're fast asleep
Red-Winged Blackbird on a power line
As I biked down Simpson's Point
Well I had to slip away
For fear I'd lost my mind
Who's gonna fix this if we all run out of tape
Who's gonna glue it back together
I could've never dreamt this up when I was young back in Michigan
Just staying for the summer
So don't lose your light
This is temporary
Dry your sad eyes
Be strong, Be brave, Be here, Be safe
Just Be, Just Be
Who's gonna save me if I can't help myself
Who's gonna spin you on the dance floor
Who's gonna turn off all the lights when you're fast asleep
So don't lose your light
This is temporary
Dry your sad eyes
Be strong, Be brave, Be here, Be safe
Believe in me
Just Be, Just Be, Just Be, Just Be
