The Chasm by Tim King Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We’re going to walk a mile
Maybe to talk a while
And I’ll pretend that I am some kind of cavalier
I’m gonna make a joke
One that I thought I wrote
You’re gonna roll your eyes so hard
That they disappear
To know the score, I’ve been keeping count
Of all the ways that I could have drowned
But you saved me
And that number is not one I can pronounce
[Chorus]
I want to be there when it’s over
I want to be there when it starts
I wanna be your everything if you will let mе
I’ll put the weight up on my shoulders
And carry all our battlе scars
Even if I am damaged far beyond repairing
[Post-Chorus]
You saved me from the chasm in my soul
Without you I don’t think I’ll make it home
[Verse 2]
We’re gonna walk it back
Rewind and play the track
Before we even had tomorrow worth fighting for
My friend had made the plan
To introduce us and
A cold November Sunday we came to your back porch
You gotta know that I knew right then
The bitter chill out at 2am
It was perfect
And I would not trade that night for anything
[Chorus]
I want to be there when it’s over
I want to be there when it starts
I wanna be your everything if you will let me
I’ll put the weight up on my shoulders
And carry all our battle scars
Even if I am damaged far beyond repairing
[Bridge]
Sitting on the sideline
Waiting for the right time
I apologize it never seems I’m in my right mind
Look at what we lived in
Nothing will diminish
Past, present, and future all converging to the finish
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe if I just close my stupid mouth
The perfect words will make their presence found
[Chorus]
I want to be there when it’s over
I want to be there when it starts
I wanna be your everything if you will let me
I’ll put the weight up on my shoulders
And carry all our battle scars
Even if I am damaged far beyond repairing
[Post-Chorus]
You saved me from the chasm in my soul
Without you I don’t think I’ll make it home
We’re going to walk a mile
Maybe to talk a while
And I’ll pretend that I am some kind of cavalier
I’m gonna make a joke
One that I thought I wrote
You’re gonna roll your eyes so hard
That they disappear
To know the score, I’ve been keeping count
Of all the ways that I could have drowned
But you saved me
And that number is not one I can pronounce
[Chorus]
I want to be there when it’s over
I want to be there when it starts
I wanna be your everything if you will let mе
I’ll put the weight up on my shoulders
And carry all our battlе scars
Even if I am damaged far beyond repairing
[Post-Chorus]
You saved me from the chasm in my soul
Without you I don’t think I’ll make it home
[Verse 2]
We’re gonna walk it back
Rewind and play the track
Before we even had tomorrow worth fighting for

I want to be there when it starts
I wanna be your everything if you will let me
I’ll put the weight up on my shoulders
