Maybe it’s cause I’m listening to so much Sinatra,
But profound thoughts hit me lately like bad news
And all I’ve been thinking about is you.
Driving on the freeway and wishing you were in the passenger seat
Bolts of lightning light up the sky like you light up my life
Briefly, powerfully, beautifully.

We hit a wall a few days ago.
It was partly your fault, partly mine.
You want so much of me
And I don’t have enough of me to give.
We’re still reeling like drunks after a fight
Wondering if we’ll ever walk straight again.

But I can’t imagine my world without you.
You’re the steel rod keeping my back straight
The first thing I think of when something out of the ordinary happens.
When I look in the mirror
I wonder what you would think.
So even though it would be easier if I was alone
It would make my world less worth inhabiting
If you didn’t occupy it.
