Can I Rely On You (for love)

from Random Magic by Schweitzer

/

lyrics

I was runnin’ like a runaway, champing at the bit
To make damned sure that I made it
Like a car without brakes, runnin’ all the lights
I just knew I’d stall if I waited
No matter where you go, or what you try to do
You’re always there after the one who made it there before you

Can I rely on you for love
I’m gonna need it when my heart gives up
I know I’m askin’ too much
But when the curtain finally falls
I’m gonna need the strength of your touch
Can I rely on you, for love

I was swinging for the parking lot, callin’ on a bluff
Trying to get a foot in a door
I could take it on the chin, cause I knew that at the limit
I could handle just a little bit more
No matter what you do, or where you try to go
you’re either too low on the list
or they’re telling you you’re runnin’ too slow

Can I rely on you for love
I’m gonna need it when my heart gives up
I know I’m askin’ too much
But when the curtain finally falls
I’m gonna need the strength of your touch
Can I rely on you, for love

Can I rely on you, for love
Can I rely on you, for love
Can I rely on you, for love
Can I rely on you, for love

Always reaching for the high notes, trying to sell a ticket
I needed all eyes on me
Savoring the pain, waving off the critics
The finish line was all I could see
No matter who you want to be, or who you think you are
You’re never living up to how high you set your own bar

Can I rely on you for love
I’m gonna need it when my heart gives up
I know I’m askin’ too much
But when the curtain finally falls
I’m gonna need the strength of your touch
Can I rely on you
Can I rely on you, for love

Schweitzer Los Angeles, California

My brother started writing songs and that was the spark that started me on my own songwriting course that would last the rest of my life. I chose to use my surname, "Schweitzer," for practical reasons, realizing long ago that pronouncing "Richard Schweitzer" was difficult. "Schweitzer Projects" under the "tindog music & stuff" umbrella is producing songs in the Pop / Pop rock or folk categories ... more
