You wanna go where the action is
You wanna break the night wide open
Something pure about the way you give
With no thought of where you're goin'

You been everything to everyone
It ain't like your life is perfect
If you look inside you'll come undone
I'm just tryna scratch the surface
Under your skin
Will you let me in?

Oh-oh, oh-oh, I will be there to calm your nerves
To fight this feeling
Oh-oh, oh-oh, I will be there to say the words, "You are forgiven"

You disappear when you feel too much
Wish I knew where so I could follow
Take me to the place where you escape
And we can face the world tomorrow

We lost the thrill
But you smilin' still

Oh-oh, oh-oh, I will be there to calm your nerves
To fight this feeling
Oh-oh, oh-oh, I will be there to say the words
"You are forgiven"

Are you windin' down?
Are you carrying your burden like a badge of honor now?
Well, I'll be there at the end of the road
Next time you're breaking down here alone

Oh-oh, oh-oh, I will be there to calm your nerves
Oh-oh, oh-oh, I will be there to say the words
To save you from yourself
To calm your nerves
To calm your nerves
Oh-oh, oh-oh, I will be there
To say the words, "I will be there"
To calm your nerves
To calm your nerves
