A/N: This is one of my favorite songs: "I'll Be" by Edwin McCain. Everything not in italics are thoughts. . This is my first attempt at a song fic so here it goes….

Disclaimer: if only….sigh

The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath.
And emeralds from mountains thrust toward the sky

Her eyes were amazing like nothing he had ever seen. They were like little emeralds or the grass in Ireland.

Never revealing their depth
Tell me that we belong together,

Or I'll have to do it myself or I might die. I knew from the first day we met that we belong together.

Dress it up with the trappings of love.
I'll be captivated,
I'll hang from your lips,

Your soft sweet, supple, dainty, pink lips.

Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above.

I'll be your crying shoulder,
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older,

I promise I will be better when I'm older!

I'll be the greatest fan of your life

I'll be there whenever she needs me, if she ever needs me.

And rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed.

I hope that that comes true one day.

You're my survival, you're my living proof.
My love is alive -- not dead.

I really need her love.

Tell me that we belong together.
Dress it up with the trappings of love.
I'll be captivated,
I'll hang from your lips,
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

And I've dropped out, I've burned up, I've fought my way back from the dead.

I have fought my way back from death. For God's sake I was shot in the eye with a nail! Why can't you notice me?

I've tuned in, turned on, remembered the things that you said

Every sweet thing you've said to me.

I'll be your crying shoulder,
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older,

Please believe me!

I'll be the greatest fan of your...
I'll be your crying shoulder,

Whenever you need me!

I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older,
I'll be the greatest fan of your life.

The greatest fan of your life.
...greatest fan of your life

But turning around he saw her walk away with him. It nearly killed him inside, because she really was perfect.
