lyrics

The thing I know about the sun
is it seems to pop behind the clouds and hide
right when you need it most.
I guess that's why
it's been so hard for you lately
I wish I knew just how to make it right

Because you've always been my grounding anchor
and you won't let me down
won't let me surrender
I guess that's why I hung the stars up in the sky
in hopes you'll sleep a little better at night

Forget the frowning faces and all of their glares
two-thirty miles and I'll be standing there
and if the troubles seem to keep you up at night
Just know that I'll be there to help you win this fight.
Because in twenty years I'll still be in your corner
and if anyone leaves, I don't care, I'll still be rooting for you
and if anyone says the lies that seem to hold you down,
don't keep then around
and don't you let them let you drown

the thing I know about you now
is you seem to hide behind a mask
and smile right when you're hurting most
I guess that's why
I want to make you laugh again,
I wish I knew just how to make it right

Because you've always been my grounding anchor
and you won't let me down
won't let me surrender
I guess that's why I hung the stars up in the sky
in hopes you'll sleep a little better at night

Forget the frowning faces and all of their glares
two-thirty miles and I'll be standing there
and if the troubles seem to keep you up at night
Just know that I'll be there to help you win this fight.
Because in twenty years I'll still be in your corner
and if anyone leaves, I don't care, I'll still be rooting for you
and if anyone says the lies that seem to hold you down,
don't keep then around
and don't you let them let you drown

So when you turn sixteen and you close your eyes
after thinking too much on a saturday night
I swear to god I'll listen
and I swear to god I'll hear you out this time

You don't need to wait for the sun to shine
You can find hope in the rain tonight

Forget the frowning faces and all of their glares
two-thirty miles and I'll be standing there
and if the troubles seem to keep you up at night
Just know that I'll be there to help you win this fight.
Because in twenty years I'll still be in your corner
and if anyone leaves, I don't care, I'll still be rooting for you
and if anyone says the lies that seem to hold you down,
don't keep then around
and don't you let them let you drown
