1st Verse

When the weight of the world
Bears down so strong
You leave footprints on the street
And there's too many miles to face
Without a few more hours sleep
The storm clouds overhead won't shed
Any rain to quench your thirst
And I wanna be the one you reach for first

2nd Verse

When your faith is stretched so thin
That you can see straight through your soul
And you can't find a nickel to buy a smile
'Cause your pockets all got holes
You wanna shut the door and hide
Before the day can get much worse
And I wanna be the one you reach for first

Chorus

Fall into me
My arms are open wide
And you don't have to say a word
'Cause I already see
That it's hard, and you're scared
And you're tired, and it hurts
And I wanna be the one you reach for first

3rd Verse

I wanna be the bottle
You've been drinkin' with your eyes
Or the road you run away on
You've been runnin' all your life
The third row pew
That you last knew as a child in church
I wanna be the one you reach for first

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

(Just before) before you turn the key
(Just before) before you fall asleep
Before you drift away to fight those demons
Waitin' for you in your dreams
(Just before) before your arms are stretched wide open
(Just before) before you reach into the sky
Before you're searchin' for directions
And all the answers to your why's

Tag Chorus

Fall into me
Oh, my arms are stretched wide open
You don't have to say a word
Because I already see
That it's hard, and you're scared
And you're tired, and I know it hurts
Yes, it's hard, and you're scared
And you're tired, and it hurts
And I wanna be the one you reach for first
