My Anchor

I stood in the spotlight for so long that
I started to burn
You watched from the wings and held my jacket
Waiting your turn
Now I'm out and I'll be here for you now
I won't disappear

Man, I used to want to see all people
Staring at me
Now nothing could make me more unsettled
I'm happy to be
At your back and I'll stay here
I just smile and clap and I cheer

I, I will do anything you want
I'll be your servant from now on
All that you say, I will obey
You've been my anchor for so long
Now you can have things your own way
I shimmer in your reflected glow
You are the brightest light I know

And you know what?
I almost forgot
About all the junk that I don't need
And all the things that I am not

I stepped down and I'll stay here
I won't go, I'm keeping you near
This is the end of the worst year

I, I will do anything you want
I'll be your servant from now on
All that you say, I will obey
You've been my anchor for so long
Now you can have things your own way
I shimmer in your reflected glow
You are the brightest light I know

And you know what?
I almost forgot
About all the junk that I don't need
And all the things that I am not

About all the crap that I had done
And all the things that I am not

About all the answers I can't find
And all the things that I am not
