the sun has blessed, the rays are gone

and all the kids have left their tears and gone home

sweet 17, sour 29

and i can't explain myself what i hope to find

you're all so kind without her here

baby i need you around

baby i need you around

maybe i need you

maybe i need you all right now

baby i need you around

i had no luck

i had no shame

i had no cause, just 17 days of rain

and you in my eyes

just one more song to slay this earth

and i can't explain myself just what it's worth

it's all i had, but not all i need

and i can't escape the fact that i still bleed

it's all too steep without her here

baby i need you around

baby i need you around

baby i need you around

i had no voice

i had no drive

i had no choice

i had no crime

i had myself

i had my band

i had my love

i had no hand in watching it all fall apart

baby i need you around

baby i need you around

maybe i need you

maybe i need you all right now

baby you need me around
