Drop Everything

She caught my eye on the back of the bus
A pretty young thing from a little old town
Leaving cause it wasn't enough
She told me she's out on a mission to love
Wearing that heart right out on her sleeve
Acting like she's having fun
Well, let's pretend for a minute she was happy
Not a care in the world
Just a smiling face
I can see she's headed for a tragedy
I wanna save the girl
But it's not my place
I wanna ask her...
[chorus]
What would you do if you weren't afraid?
We could drop everything, drop everything
And run away
Tell me, what would you do if I called your name?
We could drop everything, drop everything
And leave today
Well it's been five or six months
Ran into her late night, working downtown
Living right under the gun
She kills me
And the same sweet girl from the back of the bus
Baby on the way but she's living alone
Cause her man ain't man enough
I pretend for a minute she was happy
Not a care in the world
Just a smiling face
I can see she's living in a tragedy
I wanna save the girl
Is it my place?
I think I'll ask her...
[chorus]
I need to know
Are you ready to admit
That the fear that's keeping you here
Is breaking your heart, breaking you down, breaking your will?
I'm ready to go
But I need you to admit
It's the fear that's keeping you here
Breaking your heart, breaking you down, breaking your will
Darling, I can see you shaking, don't know what to say
You can drop everything, drop everything that caused you pain
I can be your comfort but you choose your fate
Won't you drop everything, drop everything and run to me?
[chorus]
