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
