There are people I know
They don't seem to mind or if they do they do it don't show
But I can't sleep at night
Unless I know that you're tucked up tight
And I know I sound paranoid
But I've been that way since I was a boy
Knee height
Stage Fright
Even if you're alright
I want to be
the first to know
I know it was a long time ago
You left on your own and you were curbcrawled home
I still kick myself now
I should have never allowed you out my sight
And I cross my heart
Hope to die
If anything happens to you when you're out of my sight
I want to be the guy who steps in the way
When you're in harms' way
I want to be the first to know
If you want some space just squeeze my hand girl
I'll understand
You don't have to lie
We're on the same side girl
I don't want to be a ball and chain
I'm just afraid of change
And I'm not ashamed
If you think I want to hold you back
you should know me better than that
I just want to be the first to know
