Edwin McCain - I'll Be Lyrics






The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath.
And emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky
Never revealing their depth.
And tell me that we belong together,
Dress it up with the trappings of love.
I'll be captivated,
I'll hang from your lips,
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above.

And I'll be your crying shoulder,
I'll be love's suicide
And I'll be better when I'm older,
I'll be the greatest fan of your life.

And rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed.
And you're my survival, you're my living proof.
My love is alive and not dead.
And tell me that we belong together.
Dress it up with the trappings of love.
I'll be captivated,
I'll hang from your lips,
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

And I'll be your crying shoulder,
I'll be love's suicide
And I'll be better when I'm older,
I'll be the greatest fan of your life.

And I've dropped out, I've burned up, I've fought my way back from the dead.
I've tuned in, turned on, remembered the things that you said

And I'll be your crying shoulder,
I'll be love's suicide
And I'll be better when I'm older,
I'll be the greatest fan of your...
I'll be your crying shoulder,
I'll be love's suicide
And I'll be better when I'm older,
I'll be the greatest fan of your life.

The greatest fan of your life.
...greatest fan of your life.

    This song is absolutely timeless and beautiful. I saw Edwin live earlier this year, and it was one of the best shows I’ve been to. My 18 year old self belted this song out right along with him. 💜

  24. K.... R....

    Such a beautiful song, yet not many people know that it was written as a breakup song! Kinda ironic when you want to play it at your wedding right?

    1998, A packed gym, buses lined the parking lot, I can still smell the perfume, asking that one girl you thought you'd spend forever with. Those were the days.

  31. k.... ....

    songs with content are timeless...I don't know what people are singing these days

  32. K.... F....

    It was always my girlfriend's dream to have a debut at 18 years old with the 18 roses, 18 candles and all that. Sad to say she didn't really get that at 18 so i surprised her on her 21st birthday with a small deebut oarty with the 18 roses and candles. I was the last to dance with her and this was the song we danced to, and this is also the song i played when i asked her to be my girlfriend and now we're still strong as ever.

  33. A.... W....

    This is my kind of music

  61. Y.... B....

    Ok, sixes and sevens, General, with all due respect, will you ever teach me and show me how to be better at anything that I never know, because, and so you know me, sir, I am waiting with shame and tears every time, and I can't see what it is that I don't do to make you want to, and, because of this cause and effect, I get hit in my head, I go to to toe with Satan, I sit outside my family's house, and I don't understand why you don't, and do you know me, sir, because, you have me at attention, but, hi, sir, I am just hoo hoo daydreaming on my baby ghost missing you so much it hurts to try and not cry all the way. Love counts for me, but, I don't know what to do in any regards and God damnit I miss our children, j....
