Michael

You stole me away from a cruel, heavy hand

And pulled me right out of the dark

Ten years of fighting through broken lands

But Michael, you guarded my heart

Through the jail cells, addiction, the cold on the street

When we had nothing but a tent in the dirt

You heated up bricks in the fire for my feet

To keep me warm and to carry the hurt

You bring the color in, you are the rain to my desert

My tether to sanity when the world starts to sever

Your eyes take my breath, your laugh is a song

Nobody has ever made me feel I belong

The most beautiful person that I've ever seen

My best friend, my Michael, my everything

We're rolling our "Rs" till we're crying with tears

Faking British accents nobody can hear

Just the first and the last word making sense in the room

While we're turning the volume up heavy on Tool

You showed me the magic of Led Zeppelin's groove

And I gave you Chevelle just to get you to move

We survived all the shadows, the nights we were cold

With a bond that refuses to ever grow old

You bring the color in, you are the rain to my desert

My tether to sanity when the world starts to sever

Your eyes take my breath, your laugh is a song

Nobody has ever made me feel I belong

The most beautiful person that I've ever seen

My best friend, my Michael, my everything

Even days away, I can still feel your touch

Changing my spirit, I love you so much

When nobody else can, you pull me up high

You are the rhythm that plays in my mind

Ten years of struggle, but look where we stand

I'm holding the world when I'm holding your hand

'Cause you bring the color in, you are the rain to my desert

My tether to sanity when the world starts to sever

Your eyes take my breath, your laugh is a song

Nobody has ever made me feel I belong

The most beautiful person that I've ever seen

My best friend, my Michael, my everything
