I'd Be Lying Lyrics
won't you let me give you a hand
i have an extra I'm not using
won't you let me lighten your load
i mean after all your legs are shaking
and i can understand
all i need is your hand
oh won't you take the fall
it is me after all
won't you let me match your stride
i can slow down if you want to
we can handle it side by side
what do you say girl don't you want to
and i can understand
all i need is your hand
oh won't you take the fall
it is me after all
I'd be lying
if i ran away
I'd be lying
if i ran another way
and so I'll stay
but won't you let me be your man
I'm strong enough you know that i can
be the one to ease your mind
ease your mind
and i can understand
all i need is your hand
oh won't you take the fall
it is is me after all
I'd be lying
if i ran another way
I'd be lying
if i ran another way
and so I'll stay
won't you let me give you a hand
i have an extra I'm not using
won't you let me lighten your load
i mean after all your legs are shaking
and i can understand
all i need is your hand
oh won't you take the fall
it is me after all
[x2]
there's not much that you can do
to get me to run away from you
[x6]
I'd be lying
if i ran away
I'd be lying
if i ran another away
i have an extra I'm not using
won't you let me lighten your load
i mean after all your legs are shaking
all i need is your hand
oh won't you take the fall
it is me after all
i can slow down if you want to
we can handle it side by side
what do you say girl don't you want to
all i need is your hand
oh won't you take the fall
it is me after all
if i ran away
I'd be lying
if i ran another way
I'm strong enough you know that i can
be the one to ease your mind
ease your mind
all i need is your hand
oh won't you take the fall
it is is me after all
if i ran another way
I'd be lying
if i ran another way
and so I'll stay
i have an extra I'm not using
won't you let me lighten your load
i mean after all your legs are shaking
all i need is your hand
oh won't you take the fall
it is me after all
[x2]
to get me to run away from you
[x6]
if i ran away
I'd be lying
if i ran another away

Let me preface with a line from Greg Laswell's song Not Out where he says "and it's easier to sing the things I wanna say to you"
This is a great song....to me it is about a man (greg?) who likes a girl who is afraid to love in return.
However, he understands and is willing to be patient "i can slow down if you want to"
He goes on to say, "oh won't you take the fall" which i interpret to mean take a chance, or take a leap of faith because "it is me after all" which means she can have some confidence in him.
i'm with you stevewaters...what he means with this song is to cheering this girl to take that leap of faith...she has nothing to lose, she has nothing to be afraid of, she shouldn't be so doubtfull, because "IT'S ME AFTER ALL" it's all in those 4 words (or 5 :P)
I think that's all about taking that leap of faith blindess because you have a good man in front of you, girl! and his name is Greg Laswell! xD
Love love LOVE this song.
Especially the lined "it is me after all"...a message of familiarity, asking the girl to take that extra leap of faith.
That line, "I'd be lying if I ran away" is what really gets me in this song. His devotion is such that, regardless of whether she's willing to go for it and see what they can be together, it would be a lie to leave her. He doesn't say, "I'd be hiding if I ran away" or "I wouldn't be telling the whole truth if I ran away." There's a distinction between failing to say something true and saying something that is distinctly not true. He loves her so much that leaving her would be distinctly untrue. That's pretty cool, I think.
