You don't have to be so scared
And you don't have to go tonight
'Cause we just need to hold on tight
For one hell of a ride

'Cause we lost it all just now
To the nights that left you out
So we'll let this go somehow
But you're gonna be proud, so proud

'Cause I just needed you to pick me up
Like you did when we were younger
When the lightning and the thunder
Had me clinging to your heart

For someone to lift me up
When I'm down and I'm forgotten
You'll forever be my father
And I'll be saving tears in jars for this one
For this one

And how can I fit all these words
Into such a simple verse
It's the last time that we'll speak
So you listen to me, please

'Cause I just needed you to pick me up
Like you did when we were younger
When the lightning and the thunder
Had me clinging to your heart

For someone to lift me up
Just when I'm down and I'm forgotten
You'll forever be my father
And I'll be saving tears in jars for this one, oh, oh
For this one

Oh, I just needed you to pick me up
Like you did when we were younger
When the lightning and the thunder
Had me clinging to your heart

For someone to lift me up
When I'm down and I'm forgotten
You'll forever be my father
And will be saving tears in jars for this one
