I'll Be [Acoustic Version] Lyrics
The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
Emeralds from mountains and thrust towards the sky
Never revealing their depth
And tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
And rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed
You're my survival, you're my living proof
My love is alive and not dead
And tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
And I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love suicide
And I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
And I've dropped out, I burned up, I fought my way back from the dead
Tuned in, turned on, remembered the thing that you said
And, I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love suicide
And I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love suicide
And I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
The greatest fan of your life
Stop me and steal my breath
Emeralds from mountains and thrust towards the sky
Never revealing their depth
And tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
As we lie awake in my bed
You're my survival, you're my living proof
My love is alive and not dead
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
I'll be love suicide
And I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
Tuned in, turned on, remembered the thing that you said
I'll be love suicide
And I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
I'll be love suicide
And I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

This song was my wedding song. I was with my boyfriend/ fiance for 10 years, we got married on our 10 year anniversary on a beach in Jamaica and we walked down the beach to this song. It has a lot of meaning to both of us. It says everything of what we will be to the other and we will always be better when we are older.
