Me Without You - Dave Crosby

I wanna fit inside of your head, I wanna say what’s never been said to impress

you and maybe you could find the time

I wanna sing the song that’s never been sung, I wanna do what’s never been done

Catch your attention, lock it up and keep it all mine

I got to make you believe that you are oh so good for me

Cause me without you is like a shoe with no laces

Trying to find the part to something nothing replaces

Face cards with no aces, baseball with no bases

I just can’t face it if you’re moving on

I’m sittin here trying and I can’t understand it

Get the feeling that I just cannot come up empty handed Without you I feel

stranded, abused and abandoned and I just can’t stand it girl I gotta show you

That I can’t go back to me without you

Oh, yeah

I wanna stand at the front the front of your line

I wanna write your name right next to mine

You gotta see it to believe it, you can take it you can leave it but before I

guarantee it I know

I got to make you believe that you are oh so good for me

That I can’t go back — without you

It would take all of me to turn around and go back to you-less useless oh,

and it just feels so right

You’ve made up my mind with all that you are

Oh, yeah.

It’s like a, it’s like a…

A courtroom with no cases

High speed with no chases

A trail with no traces

Track meet with no races

Drums without basses

Crooked teeth with no braces

Me without you is like flowers out of vases

Or a world with no races

A desert oasis

Things changing phases while in homeostasis

Mug shots with no faces

A pen that erases

Tryin to read between the lines, but the line’s got no spaces

A calm man who still paces

A pain that embraces

Girl, you know you’re something that nothing replaces

I will do what I gotta just to be in your graces

I’m sorry that I’m out of metaphorical phrases

But I still wanna tell you just how much it amazes me every time I think about

how pretty your face is

It feels so wrong it feel so out of place if, you drop my hand and you walk away

Me without you.

That’s me without you
