I been trying to change the tide I been running down the light I been lost in my mind I been the myth but not the man Been the father but not the dad Been the middle of the road She said boy don't you wait Celia I'm the one who wants to hold you through the night Celia I made my mind up I'll be walking by your side Through the night Father figures out the bill Flips a coin and writes his will On the shoulders of the check out girl And the police hide from my mother's tongue It's alright I heard her sung Everybody ruins everyone I been the myth but not the man Been the father but not the dad Been the house but not the home I been the star but not the light I been the storm but not the eye She said boy don't you wait Celia I'm the one who wants to hold you through the night Celia I made my mind up I'll be walking by your side Through the night Celia I will will hold you through the night You know my aura isn't very bright But Celia I will give you all my light (The world you fear I know) I've been the feast but not the friend I've been the waves but not the shoreline I will hold you as the world's on fire I will lift you softly in the speed of night As the world's on fire Trade me scary monsters For just simple people in the dead of night As the world spins sideways Hunting modern problems I will hold you softly in the speed on light As the world's on fire
