[Verse 1]
The sun has blessed
The rays are gone
All the kids have left their tears and gone home
Sweet 17, sour 29
And I can't explain myself
But I'd hoped to find
You were all so kind
Without her here

[Chorus]
Baby, I need you around
Baby, I need you around
'Cause, maybe, I need you
Maybe I need you, oh, right now
Maybe I need you around

[Verse 2]
I had no luck
I had no shame
I had no cause, just seventeen days of rain
And you in my eyes
Just one more song to slay this earth
And I can't explain myself just what it's worth
It was all I had, but not all I'd need
And I can't escape the fact that I still bleed
[Pre-Chorus]
Its' all too steep
Without her here

[Chorus]
Baby, I need you around
Baby, I need you around
Maybe I need you around

[Bridge]
I had no voice
I had no drive
I had no choice
I had no gram
I had myself
Had my band
I had my love
I had no hand in watching it all fall apart

[Chorus]
Maybe I need you around
Maybe I need you around
'Cause, maybe I need you
Maybe I need you, oh, right now
Baby, I need you around
