Cosmic Johnny - Be Without You

You said your town felt like a prison block
A sea of concrete to the south
You said you had to find a life that left
A better taste inside your mouth

You kept a place for me
When we were young and terrible

So when you cry, I will try to make it better
It takes a while to speak somebody’s language
And when we feel all the things we haven’t felt yet
It won’t be anything that we can’t manage
Where would I be without you?
Where would I be without you?
In New York City where you used to live
Kissing boys who sang the blues
We spent a long time on the back burner
And we were always quick to bruise

But you made space for me
When my love was unbearable

So when you cry, I will try to make it better
It takes a while to speak somebody’s language
And when we feel all the things we haven’t felt yet
It won’t be anything that we can’t manage
Where would I be without you?
Where would I be without you?

And in the summer when I checked into the hospital
The brown pants were too short for my long legs
The buttons snaps that didn’t close
We need the help we cannot get
But you were there the day I left
And you made sure that I would eat something
I ate something
We looked at dogs in sunny weather

So when you cry, I will try to make it better
It takes a while to speak somebody’s language
And when we feel all the things we haven’t felt yet
It won’t be anything that we can’t manage
Where would I be without you?
Where would I be without you?
Where would I be without you?
Where would I be without you?
