Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can't tell you what it means
When you are here, I am at ease
I don't blame you when you're gone
For the sadness in my song
[Verse 2]
That weight is mine alone
That shadow is my own
The coast is never clear
I'll wait for mornin' though
You will arrive
So we can watch that shadow disappear
[Verse 3]
If you try to be with me
I will try to get by
Some say I'm a fool for waitin'
They don't know this fool doesn't mind
They tell me, give it up
But I won't ever give it up
[Verse 4]
'Cause when the night does fade
I'm alive in the strangest way
Those first few cracks of dawn
Are a taste of what's to come
[Verse 5]
And, yes, I hum and haw
'Bout nothing at all
I get lost in fear
No thief or act of god
Could take this grin I've got
I know you will be here
[Verse 6]
And if you try to be with me
I will try to get by
Some say I'm a fool for waitin'
They don't know this fool doesn't mind
They tell me, give it up
But I won't ever give it up
[Verse 7]
Oh, and they tell me
So what, she's in your head
She's gonna leave again
What's gonna happen then?
She's just enablin'
And there is truth to that
But I ain't holdin' back
If you try, try, try
[Verse 8]
Try to be with me
And I will try to get by
Some say I'm a fool for waitin'
They don't know this fool doesn't mind
[Verse 9]
And if you try to be with me
I will try to get by
Some say I'm a fool for waitin'
They don't know this fool doesn't mind
They tell me, give it up
But I won't ever give it up
Oh and they tell me, give it up
I won't ever give it up
