lyrics

I Can
© 2013 The Squirrel Hillbillies

I can't save your soul and I can't mend your heart
I can't make a whole from all your broken parts
I can't pass your test and I can't make your case
I can't do your best, I can't take your place
I can't read your cards and I can't hide your scars

Pocketful of fears and reasons to refuse
Leave them all behind and I can sit with you

I can't right your wrongs and I can't dig your ditch
I can't write your songs or even match your pitch
I can't kill your buzz and I can't tell your lies
I can't fill you up and I can't cut your ties
I can't play your hand and I can't take your stand

Staring at the walls, nothing left to lose
Listen for the call and I can walk with you

I can't make your peace and I can't make your bail
I can't tame your beast and I can't set your sail
I can't wake you up and I can't change your mind
I can't push you hard enough to cross your line

I can't pay your debts and I can't face your fears
I can't wage your bets and I can't cry your tears
I can't play your game and I can't rest your bones
I can't take the blame for all your sticks and stones

But I can be with you and I can sit with you
And I can stand with you and I can walk with you
And I can and I can and I can and I can
And I can and I can and I can and I can
