lyrics

I run outside before you,
making holes that you can walk through
like a child following footprints in the snow.

You are my foundation,
and beside you I'm a mountain,
I am fortified, and I can only grow.

And that's not all

Haven't you, a man of science,
ever wondered why I try
so hard to make you feel so secure?

Haven't you , with all your cleverness,
devised the reason why I missed no hit and dodged no bullet,
can't you see why I go through it?

I want to be your human shield
Be your cover in the field
Be your strength when you have none
Be your comfort when you're done
Be the walls you live inside
Be the hole where you can hide
Be the safe in which you're sealed
I want to be your human shield

One I was withdrawn,
but that loner now is gone
Oh, how'd I stay so long in such a place without you?

Once I was so strong
but now to be alone feels wrong
when I am invincible around you

Haven't you, a man of science,
ever wondered why I try
so hard to make you feel so secure?

Haven't you, with all your cleverness,
devised the reason why I missed no hit and held no rancor?

Haven't you felt so at ease while safe inside my company?
See I am at my best as your bulletproof vest.

I am your residence, your willing shade,
the room in which your bed is made,
your host, your home, your hive, your cave;
oh can't you see how brave you make me?

I want to be your human shield
Be your cover in the field
Be your strength when you have none
Be your comfort when you're done
Be the walls you live inside
Be the hole where you can hide
Be the safe in which you're sealed

I want to be your human shield

Nearly a decade late to the Taz party, but I’m so glad to be aware of it now! I don’t know what elixir Griffin put into the album but I would like to drink a gallon of it. katiegreene137
