It was just like a dream
I awoke before I screamed and you weren’t there
And the rain was falling down
Serenading a sweet sound
That I didn’t dare attempt to make a move
You weren’t there, so what’s the use
I know you wouldn’t care
There’s no way that I can stay the man I am today if you’re not there
Many things we left unsaid
Not just to do, but planned ahead
We didn’t plan behind
With your matching boots and pants, high-waisted
And your scent filling my room
Before I met you I was lost, there was no line I wouldn’t cross
There was no room
There’s no way that I can stay the man I am today without you
Did we have to build a wall?
I took for granted that it would fall, but it spelled my doom
There’s no reason I could give that would cause you to acquit me of these crimes
There is no mansion on a hill
Just an empty pedestal for an empty life
There’s no way that I can be the man I want to be unless you’re with me
On the other side of town, I am wanted and if I’m found
It won’t be nice
Now that I’m older I can see the repercussions I can’t flee
That I can’t leave behind
If you’ll have me back, I’m proud
But I’ll fall unto the ground, unto my knees
There’s no way that I can stay the man I am today if you’re not with me
There’s no way that I can be the man I want to be if you’re not with me
