"You" lyrics

"You"

You've got the kind of smile that makes you look surprised
Just as the Sunday morning sun always shuts your eyes and I wait for you to come back to life
I would wait months for the silence to break
While you were half asleep and I was wide awake but you slipped away
Hey, why won't you just open your eyes?
And see me next to the sun in the sky
And find that we've got nothing but time

I want you and nobody else
I love you and nobody else

Why'd you never wear your hair like that?
You've grown your bangs over imperfections that I used to love
So how many hairs from my head should I cut?
And how many pounds should I shed from my gut to feel like a new man?
Cause I've grown tired of running for some type of finish line
When I've realized I'm not gonna win

I want you and nobody else
I love you and nobody else
I want you and nobody else
I love you and nobody else

So here's to the house that we will never live in
And here's to our kids and the life we won't give them
I can't help but wonder that if you had just swallowed your pride
Down deep with water and not wine that we would have had more time
Give me more time
Give me more time
