I wanna love you I wanna feel you Oh I cant take it When I'm not around you It's hard you know Loving through a telephone The sun is rising The light is blinding I'm trying to wake up But I cant fight it It's hard you know Sleeping in this bed alone You were there when I was hurting You were there when I fell behind Even though our fire isn't burning Just know you're a friend of mine It's cold this morning The window's open The draft is kicking Into the kitchen It's hard you know Living in this house alone My body's shaking I'm re-arranging All of the records Down in the basement It's hard you know Trying to make some room to grow You were there when I was hurting You were there when I fell behind Even though our fire isn't burning Just know you're a friend of mine I wanna love you I wanna feel you Oh I can't take it When I'm not around you It's hard you know Living in this house alone But now its over I'm far from sober I Think i'll get it when I get older It's hard you know Trying to make this house a home
