lyrics

[Verse 1]

Two men with Down Syndrome
They sit down on the bus
I'd just gotten blissfully stoned, I'm thinking
"Does everybody look like this?"
One gets in the other's face
He says, "Leave my friends alone!"
And the other says he didn't do anything
"Buddy, you're my best pal, you know!"

[Pre-Chorus]

Hold me in your tiring arms, tell me
"There's no one above you know."
There's somethin' aggravating about you
That I'll always love, somehow
Take the good, the bad, and the ugly when

[Chorus 1]

It's taken the best of you to call me
It's taken the rest of you to break me down and scare me
Must I take all of you with me?
Our darkest moments make us who we are

[Verse 2]

"Don't worry, little man," I said
"I'll be back in the turn of a season."
You cried into my neck
I guess you're never too young to know someone's leaving

[Pre-Chorus]

Hold you in my tiring arms, tell you
"There's no one above you know."
There's somethin' so amazing about you
That I'll always love, no doubt
I'll take the good, the bad, and the ugly when

[Chorus 1]

It's taken the best of you to call me
It's taken the rest of you to break me down and tear me
I guess I'll take all of you with me
Our darkest moments make us who we are

[Bridge]

I made you so damn proud
I climbed up nine clouds, came crashing down
You said, "Come on, stay."
I jumped on a southbound train
Like a skeleton in chains
If you want me to stay in your life

[Outro]

If you'll have me, I'll stay in your life
If you'll take me, I'll stay in your life
If you'll have me, I'll stay in your life
If you want me, I'll stay in your life
