You showed up on a morning in the fall

The newest member of the band

I held your little hand

The one you used for writing on the wall

 

You never got when it was time to quit

When you were last to cross the line

Bloodied all the time

Even if you never wanted it

Now you don't do what others tell you to

And no one knows that quite like me and you

 

From the road it’s often hard to tell

If you were really having fun

If you believed in anyone

If you ever found the room to be yourself

You find your strength no matter what you do

And no one knows that quite like me and you

 

You are not the girl you'll be tomorrow

Time reveals what isn't now in sight

Like the first light of the morning

makes a liar of the night 

In a world of misdirection

you're the north that's always true

And no one knows that quite like me and you

 

You played so pretty even all alone

And if they couldn't tell

They can go to hell

It's easy from the sidelines to throw stones

You're the only one you owe it to

And no one knows that quite like me and you

 

The years will melt together all our memories

Good or bad at least we sang in time

In my ears your laughter is as

sweet as whey you cry

You're the one who takes it hardest

just like I taught you to

And no one knows that quite like me and you
