I Wanna Be the One Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Holdin' on to innocence in my arms
We'll be leavin' here before too long
I never really know where you're comin' from
I will leave you here, oh
[Chorus]
I wanna be the one to watch you
I wanna be the one to talk you down
Giving up on anything else I ever wanted to do
I wanna be the one
[Verse 2]
I could see the lights fadin' out
Never cared to look 'less we know how
Tell me where you're goin', I'll be there now
Was always up to you, oh
[Chorus]
I wanna be the one to watch you
I wanna be the one to talk you down
Giving up on anything else I ever wanted to do
I wanna be the one
I wanna be the one
[Bridge]
Different labels on the bottles
Different ways to pass the time
I tell you in my dreams, "We made it"
A picture that was only faded
[Outro]
Giving up on anything else I ever wanted to do
I wanna be the one
I wanna be the one
I wanna be the one
I wanna be the one
I wanna be the one
