Lyrics

I haven't gone outside today
It feels so long since you've been away
The sun is bright, the sky is blue
And I'm all right, and I make do

The house is dark, the shades are drawn
I check for mail, I mow the lawn
I cannot sleep, I cannot dream
And it's enough to make me scream

I want you back and here with me
I don't care how, I'm too blind to see
I hurt so bad when you're away
I can't go through another day
Without you back and here with me

I wish that I could wish you well
But I can't pretend that life without you's not a living hell
I wouldn't waste a wish on that
I'd wish that wish to wish you back

I want you back, I want you back
I say it with no metaphor
I want you back, I want you back
And I repeat it more and more
I want you back, I want you back
I miss you more and more each day
I want you back, I want you back
I ain't got nothin' else to say

Well, there it is, I've said my piece
This song won't bring you back, but it may give me some release
I've got no more words in my pen
I might as well sing it again
