rain and fire

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
