You Without Me

Oh

Was your smile always crooked? Was the freedom ever free?
Do you kick the rocks between your feet, after all this time with me?
You can listen to your own records now, decide what you believe
You can pray on stars and skip the gods like stones across the sea

But I would know you anywhere, I lost myself in you
Heavy are the hands that you are free to slip right through
Do what you have to do

There you are, my morning star, I wondered when you'd show
Give me just a quick thumbs up, a wink before you go
I never heard that voice before today, I remind myself to breathe
There you are, it's just you without me

I'm late to another game, I guess I never learned the rules
I showed up with a broken name and handed it to you
I'm not sure if you can fix it now, but if you wanted to
I would follow you around and carry all your tools

I would know you anywhere, I found myself in you
Heavy are the hands that hold the changes you go through
Do what you have to do

There you are, my morning star, I wondered when you'd show
Give me just a quick thumbs up, a wink before you go
I never heard that voice before today, I remind myself to breathe
There you are, it's just you without me
Without me

As predictable as time and age, but comforting in some strange way
Time makes every one of us an absolute cliché
But when I met you face to face, none of it was true
So who am I if I'm not you?

There you are, my morning star, I wondered when you'd show
Give me just a quick thumbs up, a wink before you go
I never heard that voice before today, I remind myself to breathe
I'm ever just a thought away, if ever you need me
You're gonna live a lot of life, you're gonna see a lot of years
God willing, just you without me
There you are, just you without me

Without me
Without me
