it means so much to have you around 

happy with you by my side 

but let's not make any late night promises that we won't keep 

to put up boundaries seems so cheap 



and i'll see you when i see you 

when i don't 

i'll think about your hair as black as night 

and eyes as brown as coffee grounds 

you showed me 

that i could care 



it means so much to have you around 

happy with you being by 

but like the trees that shade the yard 

branches connect leaves that are apart 



and i'll see you when i see you 

when i don't 

i'll think about your hair as black as night 

and eyes as brown as coffee grounds 

you showed me 

that i could care 

but it makes me scared 

like i'm scared of my old shadow 



it means so much to know you're alive 

and how you've made this cold heart warm inside 

and as i'm feeling freshly thawed 

it'll mean so much to know you'll call 



and i'll see you when i see you 

when i don't 

i'll think about your hair as black as night 

and i could use you tonight 

to show me 

that i can care 

but it makes me scared 

i'm scared of my old shadow
