[Verse 1]

When the weight of the world bears down so strong

You leave footprints on the street

And there's too many miles to face

Without a few more hours sleep

The storm clouds overhead won't shed

Any rain to quench your thirst

I wanna be the one you reach for first

[Verse 2]

When your faith is stretched so thin

That you can see right through your soul

And you can't find a nickel to buy a smile

'Cause your pockets all got holes

You wanna shut the door and hide before

The day can get much worse

I wanna be the one you reach for first

[Chorus]

Fall into me

My arms are open wide

And you don't have to say a word

'Cause I already see

That it's hard and you're scared

And you're tired and it hurts

And I wanna be the one you reach for first

[Verse 3]

I wanna be the bottle

You've been drinkin' with your eyes

Or the road you run away on

You've been runnin' all your life

The third row pew that you last knew

As a child in church

I wanna be the one you reach for first

[Chorus]

Fall into me

My arms are open wide

And you don't have to say a word

'Cause I already see

That it's hard and you're scared

And you're tired and it hurts

And I wanna be the one you reach for first

[Bridge]

(Just before) Before you turn the key

(Just before) Before you fall asleep

Before you drift away to fight those demons

Waiting for you in your dreams

(Just before) Before your arms are stretched wide open

(Just before) 'Fore you're reachin' to the sky

(Just before) Before you're searchin' for direction

And all the answers to your why's

[Chorus]

Fall into me

Oh, my arms are stretched open wide

You don't have to say a word because I

Already see

That it's hard and you're scared

And you're tired and I know it hurts

Yes, it's hard and you're scared

And you're tired and it hurts

And I wanna be the one you reach for first
