I'll Be the One Lyrics
When you're walking down the street,
I'll be the one who stares like a statue.
You turn the corner,
I'll be the one that follows you downtown.
When you finally notice me,
I'll be the one fumbling with his feelings
Totally oblivious to anything and everything else around.
Girl, when we meet,
I'll be the one who showers you with attention.
To win your love,
I'll fight to the very end.
When you treat me like a fool,
I'll be the one who doesn't need redemption.
Yeah, drive me away.
I'll keep coming back again and again.
I'll be the rain, if you want me to be.
Help you to grow with no guarantee.
Even be the clown: sad, but true.
But don't use me up,
Or I'll be the one that used to worship you.
When silence fills your world,
I'll be the one that knows what you're thinking.
When passion burns like fire,
I'll be the one bathing in the light.
When the curse of darkness falls,
I'll be the one that offers a candle.
I'll even be the cushion
For things that go crazy in the night.
I'll be the rain, if you want me to be.
Help you to grow with no guarantee.
Even be the clown: sad, but true.
But don't use me up,
Or I'll be the one that used to worship you.
Oh, yeah, talking about worshiping you.
Yeah, I'll be the one.
I'll be the one who stares like a statue.
You turn the corner,
I'll be the one that follows you downtown.
When you finally notice me,
I'll be the one fumbling with his feelings
Totally oblivious to anything and everything else around.
I'll be the one who showers you with attention.
To win your love,
I'll fight to the very end.
When you treat me like a fool,
I'll be the one who doesn't need redemption.
Yeah, drive me away.
I'll keep coming back again and again.
Help you to grow with no guarantee.
Even be the clown: sad, but true.
But don't use me up,
Or I'll be the one that used to worship you.
I'll be the one that knows what you're thinking.
When passion burns like fire,
I'll be the one bathing in the light.
When the curse of darkness falls,
I'll be the one that offers a candle.
I'll even be the cushion
For things that go crazy in the night.
Help you to grow with no guarantee.
Even be the clown: sad, but true.
But don't use me up,
Or I'll be the one that used to worship you.
Yeah, I'll be the one.

I originally heard this song on Pandora. It is a powerfully acoustic performace live at Bonaroo. This song is the obvious devotion of one man to one girl. He tells her that he will be there for her, in whatever mode she needs him to be. However, he warns her to not push him away too hard or to use him for all he has. Otherwise, he'll "be the one who used to worship you."
