Shelter

(album: Echosmith - 2023)

When the monsters and the nightmares
Dance around your bed at night
I was ready, waiting right there
I would turn on all the lights

When the constant conversations
And the comments made you cry
I'll take all the heat
Spare you the fire

If I could protect you
'Til my last breath, you know that I would
I'll never let you
Believe the worst, no, I never could

Wherever you run to
You'll always have a hiding place
I'll be your shelter
Whenever you can't hold the rain

Maybe I get superstitious
But I worry all the time
I collected and projected
All the fears that haunt my mind

But the real world yeah, it's knocking
And I know you wanna try
So I'll be there cheering from the side

If I could protect you
'Til my last breath, you know that I would
I'll never let you
Believe the worst, no, I never could

Wherever you run to
You'll always have a hiding place
I'll be your shelter
Whenever you can't hold the rain

Didn't know it
I've been scared to let you go
Seeing a side of
A side of me I didn't know
Didn't know it
I've been scared to lose control
If you ever wonder, if you're covered
Had to let you know

If I could protect you
'Til my last breath, you know that I would
I'll never let you
Believe the worst, no, I never could

Wherever you run to
You'll always have a hiding place
I'll be your shelter
Whenever you can't hold the rain
