[Verse 1]
When darkness surrounds you
I'll be right behind you
'cause you were my master
Though I may be faster
I know you don't mind
After all, it's only you inside of me

[Verse 2]
When I was a knee-high
I swam in your sandals
You're king of the lowdown
I'd only hang in your shadows
And I know that it bugs you
But for now just let me sit back and applaud

[Chorus]
Now let me explain
If I didn't get it thought
It would be such a shame if I couldn't tell you
That I love you more than sunshine shining
More than rain on a school day morning
More than life itself as it wilts away
And all I can think of are the things you'd say
Now I don't know how I could leave you
But I'm already starting to grieve
Grieve for you
[Verse 3]
I know you weren't fooling
When you sang me that song
You know it's been right in my head
Right through all along
Now let me rewards you
Must be nice to see yourself growing
Growing inside of me

[Chorus]
Now let me explain
If I didn't get it thought
It would be such a shame if I couldn't tell you
That I love you more than sunshine shining
More than rain on a school day morning
More than life itself as it wilts away
And all I can think of are the things you'd say
Now I don't know how I could leave you
But I'm already starting to grieve
Grieve for you
