My Song For You Lyrics - Shooter Jennings

The dying day paints a portrait of sadness 

Upon this lonely L. A. tear 

Have I found a home in this prison of my own 

Trapped in a borderline career 

But there she sits in a store on 13th street 

Walking a borderline of her own 

Is she ever gonna know the way that I see her 

When she walks into a room 

And I'm not exactly happy 

About all of the things that I've done 

I've made some mistakes and I know that I'm young 

And I'm sorry if I hurt anyone 

Well, of all the things I'm proud of 

And the places I've found in the sun 

The way I find myself loving her 

Is the best thing I've ever done 

God knows it's hard to let someone new in 

When you're still looking for a sign 

And the harder it sits, the older I get 

But the taste is as sweet as wine 

So come with me, skate across the dance floor 

As I sing my song for you 

But if you let go, I want you to know 

That I'm saving my dance for you 

And I know I've climbed some mountains 

That I probably never should have climbed 

I feel like falling farther and hit bottom harder 

That I've ever reasoned or rhymed 

But if I only had a way to show her 

How deep my heartache runs 

And the way I find myself loving her 

Is the best thing I've ever done 

And if anyone would have told me 

I would have loved anyone this way 

I probably never would have listened 

But now I'm here and I have to say 

That you only make me stronger 

I've never been more proud of anyone 

And the way I find myself loving you 

Is the best thing I've ever done
