Without You

Whatever happened to the man you used to know
Was gonna take you any place you wanted to go

Yeah whatever happened to that guy who used to live on your street
The friends he wanted you to meet, the friends that you'd never know

Wonder if he ever shaved his head (I know he wanted to)
Wonder if he got that stain out of his bed
I wonder

Yeah whatever happened to that band he was going to form
The places they were going to tour, the places he said he'd take you

Yeah whatever happened to that song he used to sing
Said he's gonna make it big and come back to find you

Now I'm wondering if he's there
Or if he ever really cared
If a word that he ever said was true
Keep 'em smiling 'til you screw

Whatever happened to that script you were going to write
That detailed your last fight, if only you'd had the words

Yeah whatever happened to forgetting about the past
Remembering what has or has not

There's a time and a place for us somewhere
I don't really care
But your mother's in the kitchen in floods of tears
She hears a voice she thinks she knows, it says

Hey what's happening down on your street
Switch on your radio, I'm singing for you
Grab your coat, this glass slipper's for your feet
And I promise you we'll get there soon

In that moment your future's bright
The world turns round to face you
The stars have aligned
Faith restored in humankind
'Cos you know those words are for you

Hey I'm coming back to your street
And we'll dance in the road just like we used to do
Come take my hand we're riding straight out of this harsh land
Straight to your door, I'm coming for you

Tripping over yourself to get to the door to see if its true
When you see that smile, he'll throw open his arms out to you
Your heart it won't stop, beginning to blush, flooded with love
The door it unlocks but to no one's shock, he's still gone

Whatever happened
To the child you used to be
Who went dancing in the street
Barefoot without a care in the world

Yeah whatever happened
To the girl who never needed a man
Swore she'd never give a damn
And got caught in an emotional whirl

Hey what's happening down on your street
I tell you what its not the same without you
But I'll make it off of this God-damned street
And I'll be so much better off without you

Without you!
