I had a house while you were gone   The week after you left me   I found a couple acres   Near Sarilla Park   I had a house while you were gone   A house with silver shutters   And a driveway laid in marble   And thousands of rooms to fill   And miles of space to fly   And I tried to believe it,  It was better without you   I was safer alone   No, I'd give it all for you   I'd give it all for you by my side once more   Oh, I'd give it all for you   I'd give it all to hold you again   To feel I'm completed   To know there and then   That all that I needed   Was you to fight the fear   And now you're here   I took a trip while I was gone   I cashed in all my savings   And bought an Eldorado   Drove to Tennessee   I took a trip while I was gone   I drove across the country   And I stopped at lots of diners   And stared at a million stars   And thought I could touch the sky   And I tried to believe it,  It was better without you   I was finally free   No, I'd give it all for you   I'd give it all for you by my side once more   Oh, I'd give it all for you   I'd give it cause the mountains I climb   Get higher and higher   I'm running from time   And walking through fire   And dreams just don't come true   But now there's you   God knows it's easy to hide,  Easy to hide from the things that you feel   And harder to blindly trust   What you can't understand   God knows it's easy to run,  Easy to run from the people you love   And harder to stand and fight   For the things you believe   Nothing about us was perfect or clear   But when paradise calls me   I'd rather be here   There's something between us   That nobody else needs to see   There were oceans to cross   There were mountains to conquer   And I stood on the shore   And I stood on the cliff   And the second before I jumped   I knew where I needed to be   Oh, I gave it all for you   I gave it all for you by my side once more   Oh, I gave it all for you   I gave it cause it's harder to touch   The things that are dearer   I love you too much   To trust something clearer   I know I fell too far   But here you are
