I Just Wanna Be There

I've come a long way to see you
Yeah, but nothing's the same since you lost your mind
That face you got disturbs me
It looks just like what I left behind

We fell out cause of exhaustion
Distance, money and shame
A love like ours ain't often
But that's what everybody says

I just wanna be there with you
I just wanna be there in your arms
Crying with you, darling, like the day we were born
Crying with you, darling, like the day we were born

I just wanna be there with you
I just wanna be there in your arms
A pure naked lover, like the day we were born
Pure naked lover, like the day we were born

Honey the world don't look like
The word of the gospel says it should
Waiting for the fast train to take me to the place
Beyond that hungry she-wolf's woods

Thrown about on a sea of love
Ain't salt to drown the weeds of hate
Calling to you like a pilgrim cause
They wouldn't let me through the second gate

I just wanna be there with you
I just wanna be there in your arms
Crying with you, darling, like the day we were born
Crying with you, darling, like the day we were born

I just wanna be there with you
I just wanna be there in your arms
Pure naked lover, like the day we were born
Pure naked lover, like the day we were born
Just like the day we were born

Honey the road is a danger
But the heart burns best on the darkest nights
Love is born between strangers
You still got that picture of you and I

One of us is put on trial
With a Dixie cup of a drug cocktail
The other left to lick his wounds alone
With a hand me down, it stinks of booze
With a hand me down that stinks of booze

I just wanna be there with you
I just wanna be there in your arms
Crying with you, darling, like the day we were born
Crying with you, darling, like the day we were born

I just wanna be there with you
I just wanna be there in your arms
Pure naked lovers, like the day we were born
Pure naked lovers, like the day we were born
Simple kinda lovers, like the day we were born
Simple kinda lovers, like the day we were born
