It means so much to have you around 
Happy with you by my side 
But let's not make any late night promises that we won't keep 
To put up boundaries seems so cheap 

And i'll see you when i see you 
When i don't 
I'll think about your hair as black as night 
And eyes as brown as coffee grounds 
You showed me 
That i could care 

It means so much to have you around 
Happy with you being by 
But like the trees that shade the yard 
Branches connect leaves that are apart 

And i'll see you when i see you 
When i don't 
I'll think about your hair as black as night 
And eyes as brown as coffee grounds 
You showed me 
That i could care 
But it makes me scared 
Like i'm scared of my old shadow 

It means so much to know you're alive 
And how you've made this cold heart warm inside 
And as i'm feeling freshly thawed 
It'll mean so much to know you'll call 

And i'll see you when i see you 
When i don't 
I'll think about your hair as black as night 
And i could use you tonight 
To show me 
That i can care 
But it makes me scared 
I'm scared of my old shadow
