Me Without You

Love and Theft

Like a thunder cloud without a chance of rain, 
Like a stretch of sandy beach without the waves, 
It's like I'm spinnin' my wheels down a lonely interstate, 
Me without you. 

It's a picture perfect sky without a view, 
It's an empty seat at a table for two, 
It's havin' all the time in the world and nothin' to do, 
Me without you. 

I've been lovin' you so long 
I'm a leaf lost in the wind. 
I wanna be so strong 
But I don't know how to begin. 
So I keep holdin' on 
'Cause I don't know what else to do, 
I try to be, but I'm not me, without you. 

It's a beautiful song to be sung, 
But no one to sing. 
It's this beat up old guitar, 
Missin' a string. 
It's me callin' in the middle of the night 
And it just rings. 
Me without you. 

And I've been lovin' you so long 
I'm a leaf lost in the wind. 
I wanna be so strong, 
But I don't know how to begin. 
So I keep holdin' on 
'Cause I don't know what else to do, 
I try to be, but I'm not me, without you. 

And baby tonight I'm gonna light your favorite candle, 
I'm gonna open a bottle of my favorite Spanish wine, 
Gonna listen to the song that we made love to the first time, 
Somethin' I can do, 
Somethin' I can do, 

When I been lovin' you so long, 
I'm a leaf lost in the wind. 
I wanna be so strong, 
But I don't know how to begin. 
So I keep holdin' on 
'Cause I don't know what else to do, 
I try to be, but I'm not me, without you. 
I can try to be, but I'm not me, without you.
