Someone to Lean On

We can’t sleep at night, so we dance at the party’s edge

And we hold our breath before we bring our dreams to bed

Cause I thought you’d be someone to lean on

I pretend to be all grown-up, but I’m scared as shit

Cause this isn’t what you promised us when we were kids

And I thought you’d be someone to lean on

We’ll cover up the traces and make up a new life

The things you can’t replace are the ones you will live by

But we’ll survive

I still dream of airports and feel guilty every time

But I miss the sun and mountains that we didn’t climb

And I thought you’d be someone to lean on

We’ll cover up the traces and make up a new life

The things you can’t replace are the ones you will live by

But I’m so afraid they’ll turn the wrong machines on

Cause I thought you’d be someone to lean on

I thought you’d be someone to lean on

I hope you won’t turn the machines on
