You're the Reason
Finding My Way Through Unfamiliar Moments
Lyrics
I smile and nod and shake their hands
I express politeness and agreement through smiles, nods, and handshakes.
Unfamiliar faces fade into grey
I encounter unfamiliar people whose identities become indistinct and unimportant.
Endless loops of circumstance
I face repetitive and seemingly endless patterns of life's situations.
Tie me down and wrap me up and carry me astray
I feel restrained, enveloped, and taken away by life's challenges.
The shoulder you can cry on
I am a supportive figure, a comforting presence for emotional moments.
The one you can rely on
I am reliable for assistance and dependability.
I was neither because I wasn't near
I couldn't fulfill these roles because of physical absence.
But all the things that I do
My actions and behaviors contribute to our relationship.
And every thing we've been through
We have shared experiences and history together.
Baby you're the reason that I'm here
Your presence is the reason for my existence and purpose.
I see the planes take off and land
I observe airplanes taking off and landing, symbolizing departures and arrivals.
Unfamiliar places fading away
Unfamiliar places become distant memories.
Out of reach, out of my hands
Opportunities or goals are beyond my immediate control.
Pick me up and dust me off and rattle me awake
I need help to overcome challenges and wake up from a figurative slumber.
The shoulder you can cry on
I am a source of comfort and support for emotional moments.
The one you can rely on
I am dependable and trustworthy for assistance.
I was neither because I wasn't near
My physical absence prevented me from fulfilling these roles.
But all the things that I do
My actions contribute to our relationship despite the physical distance.
And every thing we've been through
We have shared a significant journey together.
Baby you're the reason that I'm here
Your presence is the reason for my existence and purpose (repeated).
Looking out the window washing out the monochrome
I gaze out the window, contemplating life devoid of vibrant colors.
In the backseat coming back from where I used to roam
I return from a period of exploration or wandering.
The shoulder you can cry on
I am a supportive figure, a comforting presence for emotional moments (repeated).
The one you can rely on
I am reliable for assistance and dependability (repeated).
I was neither because I wasn't near
I couldn't fulfill these roles because of physical absence (repeated).
But all the things that I do
My actions contribute to our relationship despite the physical distance (repeated).
And every thing we've been through
We have shared a significant journey together (repeated).
Baby you're the reason that I'm here
Your presence is the reason for my existence and purpose (repeated).
