Drop Everything

She caught my eye on the back of the bus

A pretty young thing from a little old town

Leaving cause it wasn’t enough

She told me

She’s out on a mission to love

Wearing that heart right out on her sleeve

Acting like she’s having fun

Well

Let’s pretend for a minute she was happy

Not a care in the world

Just a smiley face

I can see she’s headed for a tragedy

I wanna save the girl

But it’s not my place

I wanna ask her

What would you do if you weren’t afraid?

We could drop everything, drop everything, run away

Tell me what would you do if I called your name

We could drop everything, drop everything, leave today

Well it’s been about five or six months

Ran into her, late night, working downtown

Living right under the gun

She kills me

The same sweet girl from the back of the bus

Baby on the way but she’s living alone

Cause her man ain’t man enough

Well

I pretend for a minute she was happy

Not a care in the world

Just a smiley face

I can see she’s livin in a tragedy

I wanna save the girl

Is it my place?

I think I’ll ask her

What would you do if you weren’t afraid?

We could drop everything, drop everything, run away

Tell me what would you do if I called your name

We could drop everything, drop everything, leave today

I need to know

Are you ready to admit

That the fear that’s keeping you here

It’s breaking your heart, breaking you down, breaking your will

I’m ready to go

But I need you to admit

It’s the fear that’s keeping you here

Breaking your heart, breaking you down, breaking your will

Darling

I can see you shaking, don’t know what to say

You can drop everything, drop everything that caused your pain

I could be your comfort but you choose your fate

Won’t you drop everything? Drop everything, run to me

What would you do if you weren’t afraid?

We could drop everything, drop everything, run away

Tell me what would you do if I called your name

We could drop everything, drop everything, leave today
