Me and You

Here is to another night Not spent alone with my best days lost in hindsight A deterrent to my ego Like subtle fantasies where I like everyone I know Just need to say that I'm still here Unbroken slightly bruised from fear Looking up from where I lay Dreaming me and you will always find ways to be ok I am trying not to lose control Though I might just be an animal Words that leave your lips leave me subdued Better growing old when I'm with you Why don't we just run away And leave it all behind, refuse to be afraid Don't tell me that it can't happen We can start somewhere new and become young again Ok yes maybe that's no good And maybe there nothing wrong with being misunderstood I guess I'm just afraid of change Thankfully you make it easier to face I am trying not to lose control Though I might just be an animal Words that leave your lips leave me subdued Better growing old when I'm with you Do you remember when we first met I was just a kid, and you were out of my league We bought a car and drove across the country to get to know each other You told me you liked books, your favorite the Count of Monte Cristo I just smiled and listened pretending to be mysterious You saw through that facade, revealing me to be obnoxious But we went along, picking up friends that time has stolen away Like that old man in that bar in St Paul that said he knew how to live happily His words were slurred with alcohol, but I gathered what he meant to say Just stick by your side and despite my dumb pride, we could still make it anyways I am trying not to lose control Though I might just be an animal Words that leave your lips leave me subdued Better growing old when I'm with you
