I Can’t Live Without You
Six o'clock
Time to wake up
Time to play that game again
Put a smile on my face
Tell all the lines in my face
There was a time
When growing up
Seemed so far away
It's eight a.m
Trapped in a car
Nothing but miles of cars ahead
Look for a star to chase
Dream of a faraway place
There was a time
When you and I didn't care
If we came home at night
It was enough to be
Laying under the sky
It was important to me
To feel you by my side
Can't the world go away
Lock the door
Come back another day
I don't know what to do
So I'm holding on to you
I can live without most everything
But I can't live without you
Now here we stand
It's you and me again
Two strangers each on a mission
Is it too late
Was it worth it all
Remember the night
I laid you down
And we knew it meant forever
We swore forever
Can't the world go away
Lock the door
Come back another day
So many wasted years
Too many lonely tears
I can live without most everything
But I can't live without you
No I can't live without you
And the word never dies
(Close you eyes and say goodnight)
Piling up to the skies
(Turn around and say goodbye)
Staring into the black abyss
(Every night a different world)
And I have to ask
God how did it come to this
Can't the world go away
Lock the door
Come back another day
I don't know what to do
So I'm holding on to you
I can live without most everything
Can't the world go away
Lock the door
Come back another day
So many wasted years
Too many lonely tears
I can live without most everything
But I can't live without you
No I can't live without you
No I can't live without you
No I can't live without you
