Breathless

Breathless--Better Than Ezra

Here you are now
Fresh from your war
Back from the edge of time
And all that you were,
Stripped to the bone
I thought you­d want to know

That when you feel the world is crashing
All around your feet
Come running headlong into my arms
Breathless
I'll never judge you
I can only love you
Come now running headlong
Into my arms
Breathless

Lay down your guns
Too weak to run
Nothing can harm you here
Your precious heart
Broken and scarred
Somehow you made it through
I only ask that you won't go again

When you feel the world is crashing
All around your feet
Come running headlong into my arms
Breathless

I'll never judge you
I can only love you
Come now running headlong
Into my arms
Breathless

So glad to see you smiling
So good to hear your laugh
I think that you've found you even
Missed yourself
I'm only asking this because I think that
Truth be told
Oh, you'll never go again
Again

When you feel the world is crashing
All around your feet
Come running headlong into my arms
Breathless
I'll never judge you
I can only love you
Come now running headlong
Into my arms
Breathless
Breathless

Written and performed orginally by Better Than Ezra.  Another rendition that I adore is Taylor Swift's that she did for the Hope For Haiti telethon that was on TV a few months ago.
I think we all have felt like the person who has had the world come crashing down on them.  I would also like to think we all have been the arms that someone has run to in there moments of not so great.  The line, "I'll never judge you, I can only love you" is the line that just hold so true to me.  Unconditional love is hard to find, but it is there, it exists, and thank God it does.  I know I have needed a healthy dose of it in my life at times.
