Well, you gave all you're giving tonight
You say boil it to down so I will try
Didn't mean to hold you so down tight
Something about the road
Makes it hard to let go
I don't want to be your container
When I'm working for you, my love
I just want to be your sustainer
On your back like the man I suppose
Never thought I would say it's the way things go
Oh, heavy anchor wasn't the job that I chose
If I lose my grip,
Just don't let me miss the ship
I don't want to be your container
When I'm working for you, my love
I just want to be your sustainer
There's no path in the many wounds
Wrap around you, we push and we pull
One time, can I be a stable bridge for you?
But you ask if I'm scared, yes, I'm scared
But to make it right, yes sir, I'm prepared
I don't want to be your container
When I'm working for you, my love
I just want to be your sustainer
I don't want to be your container
When I'm working for you, my love
I just want to be your sustainer
Your maintainer, your sustainer
