I just want to know you're there
To know your skin is still in sight
The way you rest your head in hand
and the way you smile goodnight
I need to see you happy
To breathe and know you're gone
The morning brings your droopy eyes
and I know you're not alone
You speak in riddles and secret grins
Your hair is just a mess
I see you in my dreams some nights
Though I hope for nothing less
Our whispered words have faded
Wounds all healed to scars
Though my life is just a little better
for once knowing everything was ours

I just want to know you're there
To know your skin is still in sight
The way you rest your head in hand
and the way you smile goodnight
I need to see you happy
To breathe and know you're gone
The morning brings your droopy eyes
and I know you're not alone
You speak in riddles and secret grins
Your hair is just a mess
I see you in my dreams some nights
Though I hope for nothing less
Our whispered words have faded
Wounds all healed to scars
Though my life is just a little better
for once knowing everything was ours
