The sun has blessed
The rays are gone
And all the kids have left their tears
And gone home
Sweet 17, sour 29
And I can't explain myself
What I hoped to find
You were all so kind
Without her near

Baby, I need you around
And baby, I need you around
Maybe I need you
Maybe I need you all right now
Baby, I need you around

I had no luck
I had no shame
I had no cause, just 17 days
Of rain and you in my eyes

Just one more song
To slay this earth
And I can't explain myself,
Just what it's worth
It's all I had
But not all I need
And I can't explain the fact
That I still bleed
It's all too steep
Without her here

Baby, I need you around
Baby, I need you around
Baby, I need you around

I had no voice
I had no drive
I had no choice
I had no crime
I had myself
I had my band
I had my love
I had no hand in watching it all
Fall apart

Baby, I need you around
Baby, I need you around
Maybe I need you
Maybe I need you all right now
Baby I need you around
