Without You

(Verse 1)

The city’s just a blur of red and white in the rain

And I’m tracing every mile while drowning in shame

The morning was a mayday call from the clouds

But the silence heard now would deafen the crowds

I’m hungry for the simple, the steady, and the true

I’m just a compass needle always spinning back to you.

(Pre-Chorus)

And the road stretches out like a long, tired sigh

Underneath the weight of a dark and heavy sky

I’m just counting the beats 'til I’m close enough to see

The only version of myself I ever want to be.

(Chorus)

It’s just an ache for the way you feel next to me

For the kind of love that lets us finally breathe

I’m reaching for the softest place I’ve ever known

And I’m never gonna let this feeling go

(Verse 2)

I’m thinking ‘bout the way you breathe when you sleep

And the promises we made that were ours to keep

We grazed a little lightning, we felt a little sting

But I’d trade a thousand "rights" for just a single thing:

To feel how the air changes when you’re in the room

To see the lights change to a soft glowing hue

(Pre-Chorus)

And the road stretches out like a long, tired sigh

Underneath the weight of a dark and heavy sky

I’m just counting the beats 'til I’m close enough to see

The only version of myself I ever want to be.

(Chorus)

It’s just an ache for the way you feel next to me

For the kind of love that lets us both finally breathe

I’m reaching for the softest place I’ve ever known

And I’m never gonna let this feeling go

(Bridge)

How many sorries is this gonna take?

How many promises do I have to make?

I have myself to blame, it was my mistake

Begging every red light to let you remain

(Outro)

Turn the key.

Soft and slow.

I’m exactly where.

I need to go.

I’m home and now I know the truth

I’m nothing without you.
