Lyrics

Here with me
Go paint your finger nails and put up your hair
Slip on that dress you’ve been dying to wear
There’s a new little place on the avenue
I’ll call ahead and book a table for two

The taxi’s outside now and I’m ready to go
I’ll leave on a light as I put on my coat
We pull out the driveway and head down the road
I reach for you’re had but you’re on your phone

To all of your friends who are out on the town
Drinking their fill and running around
Though there’s no other place that I want to be
I just wish you weren’t there with them and you were here with me

Now, all day long I’ll be slaving away
In the cold and the dirt, in the wind and the rain
And all that I’m looking for when I get home
Is for you to be there to keep me warm

And maybe there’s not a lot of words you can say
That’ll take all my troubles and worries away
No part of me is broken that cannot be fixed
By the touch of your hand or a kiss of your lips

Your telephone rings and it captures your stare
I try to connect but there’s nobody there
And then in an instant it becomes to see
Why I feel so alone when your here with me

Another night passes by and not a word has been spoken
And the only time that the silence is broken
Is when that sound comes to say you message arrived
A little bit of me goes dying inside

Cause, I don’t want to spend my whole life in this way
Just sitting round trying to think of something to say
All I want to do is talk to you girl
I just want to be a part of your world

But what can I think of, what else can I do?
When there’s no other way to get through to you
I type in your number and a message that reads
“Why don’t you turn around and see your here with me?”
