Lyrics

[00:19.30] There are people I know,
[00:23.30] They don't seem to mind or if they do they do it don't show,
[00:27.50] But I can't sleep at night,
[00:31.55] Unless I know that you're tucked up tight,
[00:35.86] And I know I sound paranoid,
[00:40.01] But I've been that way since I was a boy,
[00:44.49] Knee height,
[00:46.38] Stage Fright,
[00:48.31] Even if you're alright,
[00:50.56] I want to be,
[00:52.85] the first to know.
[01:12.21]
[01:17.87] I know it was a long time ago,
[01:21.71] You left on your own and you were curbcrawled home,
[01:25.92] I still kick myself now,
[01:29.76] I should have never allowed you out my sight,
[01:34.20] And I cross my heart,
[01:36.37] Hope to die,
[01:38.25] If anything happens to you when you're out of my sight,
[01:42.71] I want to be the guy who steps in the way,
[01:46.46] When you're in harms' way,
[01:49.04] I want to be the first to know.
[02:15.34]
[02:16.51] If you want some space just squeeze my hand girl,
[02:21.35] I'll understand,
[02:24.62] You don't have to lie,
[02:27.53] We're on the same side girl,
[02:32.57] I don't want to be a ball and chain,
[02:36.35] I'm just afraid of change,
[02:39.80] And I'm not ashamed,
[02:41.65] If you think I want to hold you back,
[02:44.90] you should know me better than that,
[02:48.03] I just want to be the first to know.
[03:53.24]
