Be Well

(album: I Came Home Late - 2023)

Be well, my baby
I'll make it back to say goodbye
No point in hiding
So you can sleep well, my baby
There's not much left to figure out
Oh, I've decided

Still can't believe that I met you, and it's a quarter past five
You ask me to wake you at a quarter to nine
Then you get back in bed like there's nothing outside
Yeah
Oh, this is really all, babe, I get so sad about it
So sad about it
I think of the loss babe, if you weren't around
What about my concept of receiving?
I'd hate to feel needy

So be well, my baby
I'll make it back to say goodbye
No point in hiding
Make it back, make it back
So you can sleep well, my baby
Sleep well, well, sleep well
There's not much left to figure out
Oh, I've decided
Uh

I hope we remember when we think back on this time
You know that first look you gave me stayed in the back of my mind
And how you handled my sadness, I was so scared it would backfire
All my sadness

But this is really all, babe, I get so sad about it
I think of the loss, babe, if you weren't around
But there's no "if", "ands", "should", or "maybe's"
I won't be dissuaded
I'm gon' love you for the rest of my
Life

'Cause I'm ready to risk it all
To keep you in my life
Problem is, I don't think they give us enough time on this planet
To feel it all before fading out

So be well, my baby
Be well, be well, be well, baby
I'll make it back to say goodbye
No point in hiding
No point in hiding, yeah
So you can sleep well, my baby
So, please sleep well, please sleep well
No matter what, I'll always appreciate your timing

I've never been one for searching 'cause what I sought was not wise
Considering my distance to it, thought they gave up on I
But you're here, so I must be doing something right
Must be doing something right

So be well, my baby
I'll make it back, yeah, right on time
Save all those thoughts you've been hiding
No
I'll sleep well, my baby
Knowing you'll always be right there
To help me out
