Listening to every sound
That you make when I’m around
Strain to hear your voice shaking
Amassed unwavering aching
For you, I’d shake hands with death
If it’d mean you’d find a breath to take in
I go nowhere without you
Nowhere without you
I go nowhere without you
They said the pills take the hurt
When you stop, it gets worse
Some new med for the morning
Hands swell, but no burning
Now the ring on your finger won’t fit right
So you keep it on a chain catching light
Claw your way up and out
Thicker skin won’t be found
I felt the light start to fade
We’ll pull from mine every day
Or what’s left when you say
“Can’t take the strain from the wait”
Just want it to fade
No matter the way
I go nowhere without you
Nowhere without you
I go nowhere without you
Panic sent down the line
“I’m right here,” please be fine
Every fifth day, your blood sends
Poison to all your loose ends
Take you back quick, a firm shot in the leg
And we keep counting down to five every day
Claw your way up and out
Thicker skin won’t be found
I felt the light start to fade
We’ll pull from mine every day
Or what’s left when you say
“Can’t take the strain from the wait”
Just want it to fade
No matter the way
And I saw the changes
I felt the shakes
I saw the fear in their eyes
As they pulled you across that threshold, I
I guess I just wait
For someone to say
That you’ll be okay
Say you’ll be okay
I go nowhere without you
Nowhere without you
I go nowhere without you
It’s been four months you’ve been out
The last time made it count
Sometimes we’re back there in my dreams
Wake as the wedding bells sing
“I go nowhere without you”
