With You Or Without You

(album: Valentine - 2007)

With you or without you I'm tired of wandering
Tired of the echoes that I find
I've been thinking all the while, a lost and lonely child
I need your smile to see beyond my mind

And I need you for a pillow when it's dark outside
And I need you for a place to put my head
And I feel like I've been working hard standing by my door
When I open it up the rain comes in instead

I can't love you like some holy man searching for his cross
I can't shrine you like an angel made of wood
I can't find you or confine you to the patterns that I weave
I would not tell your fortune if I could

Oh, my worship it is wordless like some growing tree
And like time it leaves no writing on the wall
Oh, with you I would answer you by staying by your side
Without you I can't answer you at all

Oh, my worship it is wordless like some growing tree
And like time it leaves no writing on the wall
Oh, with you I would answer you by staying by your side
Without you I can't answer you at all
