Trading Yesterday - May I

Taken from their More Than This album.

Lyrics:

And there you stand opened heart--opened doors
full of life with the world that's wanting more.
But I can see when the lights start to fade,
the day is done and your smile has gone away.

Let me raise you up.
Let me be your love.

May I hold you
as you fall to sleep,
when the world is closing in
and you can't breathe.
May I love you.
May I be your shield.
When no one can be found
may I lay you down.

All I want is to keep you safe from the cold...
to give you all that your heart needs the most.

Let me raise you up
Let me be your love

[chorus]
May I hold you (hold you)
as you fall to sleep.
When the world is closing in
and you can't breathe,
may I love you. (love you)
May I be your shield.
When no one can be found,
may I lay you down.

[bridge]
All that's made me (made me)
Is all worth trading (worth trading)
just to have one moment with you.
So I will let go (will let go)
all that I know (that I know)
knowing that you're here with me.

For your love is changing me.

[chorus]
May I hold you
as you fall to sleep.
When the world is closing in
and you can't breathe,
may I love you.
May I be your shield.
when no one can be found
may I lay you down

When I am home doing nothing, this is the song I sing at the top of my lungs. It makes me feel so good.

Exquisite. Trading Yesterday is the best band to listen to whether you're down or happy.

[MrRaindrop16]

@Orangie844 I'm thinking the same thing.^^,

[MrRaindrop16]

few years ago my music player is full metal, hard rock, death metal, alternative, pop rock, or some sort of music but now it's full of trading yesterday and david hodges, country songs, and some real music like anberlin ofcouse there's still some of the past music I happen to play them depending on my mood.^^,

[BartholomeuWilhelm]

It took me so long to notice that this one can be interpreted as a Christian song.

[RaiKuriChestnut]

I got two of these to play in unison.

THE MOMENT. WAS MAGICAL.

This is such a beautiful song. In our society today, some people think that love is just something 'that is'. They don't even bother to ask before taking, or doesn't realize that it's a compromise. And this song is just amazing, because it shows how gentle and tender true love should be, enough to the point of seeing if that other person's ok with it. <3

[Orangie844]

this is on my list of probable wedding songs too its really beautiful :)

[mepp30]

I've honestly listened to this song probably a couple hundred times. I've cried/teared up every single time. I don't know what it is about this song... It just really pulls at my heartstrings. And that transposition at 3:50... Crazy shivers. So beautiful. Will forever be one of my favorite songs. And yes, I plan on it being my wedding song. :') Trading Yesterday is just amazing. <3
