I been trying to change the tide
I been running down the light
I been lost in my mind
I been the myth but not the man
Been the father but not the dad
Been the middle of the road
She said boy don't you wait

Celia
I'm the one who wants to hold you through the night
Celia
I made my mind up I'll be walking by your side
Through the night

Father figures out the bill
Flips a coin and writes his will
On the shoulders of the check out girl
And the police hide from my mother's tongue
It's alright I heard her sung
Everybody ruins everyone

I been the myth but not the man
Been the father but not the dad
Been the house but not the home
I been the star but not the light
I been the storm but not the eye
She said boy don't you wait

Celia
I'm the one who wants to hold you through the night
Celia
I made my mind up I'll be walking by your side
Through the night

Celia
I will will hold you through the night
You know my aura isn't very bright
But Celia I will give you all my light
(The world you fear I know)

I've been the feast but not the friend
I've been the waves but not the shoreline
I will hold you as the world's on fire
I will lift you softly in the speed of night
As the world's on fire
Trade me scary monsters
For just simple people in the dead of night
As the world spins sideways
Hunting modern problems
I will hold you softly in the speed on light
As the world's on fire
