Someone to Hold or to Be Held By

I see over your walls

You don’t scare me at all 

Though you think you know everything about me

I’m afraid that we’re about to face hard times

It’s part of growing, that’s all

Take my hand it’s tired of trembling 

for someone to hold or to be held by

I’m keeping you closer than I can remember 

holding anyone else in my mind 

When you don’t need me to be everything

Know darling, I can be your anything 

Darlin’, you will always be mine

I’ll carry you down when you float through the memories 

flooded in doubts that should drive me away

You’ll take me for granted but you’ll understand when you’re taller and wiser someday 

I’ve seen all the cracks in the paths that you’ll come to 

I’ve traveled beyond what you presently know

I’ll never mislead you, but sometimes you’ll need to 

Stumble through the thorn on your own 

I feel like there’s gonna be a moment when you fear everything 

That you’ve ever known is your enemy 

but I will never be

You will never be lost 

Of that I feel sure
