Were you named for the river that surrounds 
All my biggest my mistakes or the way that I made it out
All the muscles in my mouth never smiled or said profound things
Until the day she handed you to me

Now for all the steps you'll take and all you'll [bad word] 
I wanna be the one to put in a song 
Take every single tear for all the world to hear 
I wanna be the one to put it in a song

Cigarettes are raining hard on the Upper East Side 
She brings me a cake we celebrate I have arrived 
And I know that it's been sang before but you're my human holiday 
I put my hands to the table and dare say the love of my life 
And your brother with his best friend 
Shares a name I'm gonna need 
Really couldn't bring me down 

For everything you lost and all you [bad word] 
I wanna be the one to put it in a song 
Take every single tear for all the world to hear
I wanna be the one to put it in a song and make it last forever 

 [bad word] in [bad word] when [bad word] begets the past
Its sends its call out to the moon
And the moon can see the beauty that surrounds your heart as it pounds 
It starts the beat inspiring me until I make the sound

I wanna be the one, I wanna be one, I wanna be the one

For everything you lost and all you [bad word] 
I wanna be the one to put it in a song 
Take every single tear for all the world to hear
I wanna be the one to put it in a song
