it means so much to have you around

happy with you by my side

but let's not make any late night promises that we won't keep

to put up boundaries seems so cheap



and i'll see you when i see you

when i don't

i'll think about your hair as black as night

and eyes as brown as coffee grounds

you showed me

that i could care



it means so much to have you around

happy with you being by

but like the trees that shade the yard

branches connect leaves that are apart



and i'll see you when i see you

when i don't

i'll think about your hair as black as night

and eyes as brown as coffee grounds

you showed me

that i could care

but it makes me scared

like i'm scared of my old shadow



it means so much to know you're alive

and how you've made this cold heart warm inside

and as i'm feeling freshly thawed

it'll mean so much to know you'll call



and i'll see you when i see you

when i don't

i'll think about your hair as black as night

and i could use you tonight

to show me

that i can care

but it makes me scared

i'm scared of my old shadow
