I'd be reaching out for nothing in the middle of the night Trying out punch lines, but they don't land right Who would I miss, who would I hold tight? Who would outshine the sun in the morning light? What in the world would I do without you? What in the world would I do without you? Who in the world would the birds sing to? Who'd be the "I" in my "I love you"? Who'd make all of my dreams come true? Who'd forgive what I can't undo? What in the world would I do without you? What in the world would I do without you? I'd be driving at night with no lights on Trying to find my way home What in the world would I do without you? When I hear a slow song, who would I spin around? Who'd be the home in my hometown? When I get too high, who'd take off my crown? When I'm up on a ledge, who would talk me down? What in the world would I do without you? What in the world would I do without you? I'd be driving at night with no lights on Out in the dark, too far gone Trying to find my way home back home to you What in the world would I do without you? What in the world would I do without you?
