where are you?
it's three a.m.
so probably sleeping
but no sleep for me
the possibilities
playing across my eyelids
like old home videos
where are you tonight
when I really need you?
you don't know it
but I am yours
if you'd take me
I count the days
until you come back home
and in my dreams
you tell me that
you won't ever leave
again

Where are you?
and why isn't
that where
this where
because I have to level with you
I could really use the company
I could really get lost in your eyes
like you get lost in music
like I just plain get lost
when you aren't here
there are no more lullabies
no more dreams
trapped awake
way too wide
if it were anybody else
I'd have lost faith
but I can't lose faith in you
even if I wanted to
I don't always tell you
but I've been betting on you
since day one
and I'm not rich from it
but I wouldn't have it
any other way

where are you?
come put me back together
I had a great fall
and I don't think I've stopped yet
but I'm tired
and I'm hungry
so I am going
to try catch a few
and if I'm lucky
you'll be here
this where
when I wake up
smiling like you never left
