Why are you sitting on the side
Clockin' the time letting them do the decidin'?
Caught in the ebb without a flow
Watchin' the tide what kind of wave are you ridin'?

Pick off the hours of the day
This is a shade of your blue you've been hidin'
Walking through the shadows of your soul
Don't be afraid 'cuz baby I'll do your fightin'

You're the reason, you're my everything
You lift me up when I have fallen
You're the reason, you're everything
I'm higher up and you're the reason, yeah

I know the secret of your eyes
I may be wise or maybe paying attention
You're much better than you know
You're subtle grace with the heart of a lion

Shook you when the sky was falling down
You lost your place safe in the middle
Guilty by omission was the case
But this is home base where you will find your acquittal

'Cause you're the reason, you're my everything
You lift me up when I have fallen
You're the reason, you're everything
I'm higher up and you're the reason, yeah

I'm better since you came along
Now it's my turn

You're the reason, you're my everything
You lift me up when I have fallen
You're the reason, you're everything
I'm higher up and you're the reason, oh yeah

You're the reason, you're my everything
Lifting me up when I, I was fallen
You're the reason, you're everything
I'm higher up and you, you're the reason, yeah
