  • I know you were needing more of me than I gave
    When we heard that your cousin had crashed and passed away
    I hate it when I talk without thinking
    I will do what you are needing me to do

    I wanna be good to you
    I wanna be there for you
    And when I come home, will you still want me to?

    When your best friend got married I was off and gone
    You said it wasn't a problem, that there was nothing wrong
    With putting my work, my art, and my songs
    Before spending time at the wedding
    As I listened over the phone-line, you talked and you sounded so sad
    Alone in a room full of strangers, some dude saying I treat you bad
    Who is this guy and what does he know?
    Apparently more than I do

    I wanna be good to you
    I wanna be there for you
    And when I come home, will you still want me to?
    And when I come home, will you still want me to?

    When you were born I promised myself I'd always be there for you
    To help you feel safe and never alone, no matter what life put you through
    Time passed by, I lost my way, and didn't find it for years
    A strong young woman now stands in her place
    The child has disappeared
    Now that I'm home, do you still want me here?

    I wanna be good to you
    I wanna be there for you
    I wanna be good to you
    And when I come home, will you still want me to?
    And if I come home, will you still want me to? Writer/s: Robert Crawford, Scott Avett, Timothy Avett
