You Without Me

Was your smile always crooked?

Was the freedom ever free?

Do you kick the rocks between your feet

After all this time with me?

You can listen to your own records now

Decide what you believe

You can pray on stars and skip the gods

Like stones across the sea

But I would know you anywhere

I lost myself in you

Heavy are the hands that you are

Free to slip right through

Do what you have to do

There you are

My morning star

I wondered when you'd show

Give me just a quick thumbs-up

A wink before you go

I never heard that voice before today

I remind myself to breathe

There you are

It's just you

Without me

I'm late to another game

I guess I never learned the rules

I showed up with a broken name

And handed it to you

I'm not sure if you could fix it now

But if you wanted to

I would follow you around

And carry all your tools

I would know you anywhere

I found myself in you

Heavy are the hands that hold the

Changes you'll go through

Do what you have to do

There you are

My morning star

I wondered when you'd show

Give me just a quick thumbs-up

A wink before you go

I never heard that voice before today

I remind myself to breathe

There you are

It's just you

Without me

As predictable as time and age

But comforting in some strange way

Time makes every one of us an absolute cliché

But when I met you face to face

None of it was true

So who am I if I'm not you?

There you are

My morning star

I wondered when you'd show

Give me just a quick thumbs-up

A wink before you go

I never heard that voice before today

I remind myself to breathe

I'm ever just a thought away

If ever you need me

You're gonna live a lot of life

You're gonna see a lot of years

God willing

Just you

Without me

There you are

Just you

Without me

Without me

Without me
