lyrics

I got sunshine raining down on me.
I got all the wind on my back I need.
My feet have roots so deep that I can hardly leave,
But I don’t have you, no I don’t have you.

I’ve got riches, to buy me shiny things.
I’ve got all the pretty dresses and the smiles they bring.
I just bought the last thing I could ever need, but I don’t have you.
No, I don’t have you.

Chorus:
Oh babe, it’s not like I need you now.
I’m might happy, I got my feet on the ground.
It’s just that I miss you, and I want you around.
So baby, come back to me, let’s take over this town.

I’ve climbed mountains, with their snow capped peaks.
Felt the dusty sand swam the ocean deep.
I’ve seen the clouds explode and slept beneath her feet.
But I don’t have you, no I don’t have you.

I've got dear friends, who look past my worst.
I've got a lot of family who have seen my firsts.
I've had lovers who would hold me just to quench my thirst.
But I don't have you, no I don't have you.
