Music & lyrics: john popper

What about the time
When you seemed to need a friend
Not to be your champion
At least I could pretend
And it took so long to know you
For me to finally see
In the midst of my confusion
When I tried to rescue you
You rescued me
You rescued me
You rescued me
You rescued me
You rescued me

I don't think me too conceited
But I didn't think you could
Or maybe just too used to solitude
Do you think anybody would
You welcomed me completely
Smiled at what was inside
When the game of hide and seek was over
And to my sweet surprise
I didn't need to hide
And you rescued me
You rescued me
You rescued me
You rescued me

I could tell you how you're beautiful
In every way that I know
Or admit how much I need you
How I need you not to go
But for me these things are difficult
Still battling with my pride
But there is some cause for hoping
Because though the battle isn't over
At least just now I tried
And you rescued me
You rescued me
You rescued me
You rescued me

And I ask you to be patient
These things are hard for me to say
And thought it took so long to stay please, don't go away
If only, but if only, my face is turning red
Ah screw it, here goes nothing
I love you, I love you
And if now I'm feeling free
It's only because you rescued me
And you rescued me
You rescued me
You rescued me
You rescued me
