Be There

When the morning came, I was up before first light
And your bed was made, must have cut out sometime last night
And my heartbeat started pounding out a rhythm in my brain
A voice from deep inside said, "You've got to be insane"
Everyone knows how this old story goes
So I got in that taxi and drank my conscience away.

[Chorus:]
If you're gonna be there, be there
If you're gonna stay, stay tonight
Start living. Out with the old
I'm all lit up, must be the good life.

I went to your friend's house and begged you to open the door
With your hands on your hips, you spoke while I sat down on that floor
Two dishes in the kitchen sink, the way you treat me when you drink
You don't look so superior when you give your opinion
Don't think I don't know how you act on your own
And just who are those names on your cell phone, anyway?

[Chorus]

You're a cool breeze and the setting sun
New Years, the 4th, wrapped into one
You make me want to be someone that you could look up to.

[Chorus]

Come on get love
Come on and try
Come on now, what are you waiting for?

When the morning came I was up before first light.
