"Having You"

When I look at you I see right through the present

And you’ve got a gift for making me see a future

While I don’t fill you in, you can feel my past

And you look past the pain

Carry me into the rain

Showering me with Novocain  

I hold onto your hand

Gripping it tightly

Tightly enough that you believe

That it’s the only thing keeping me hanging in

Because it is, even as the world is caving in

It’s not snowing for once, but we’re still staying in

In my cradle of uncertainty you rocked me awake

Broke away the bars of the innocent prison

Building me a whole orchestra, just to play me one song  

I pray to a God I know doesn’t exist

In gentle hopes our love can persist

I say I’m no good, but you insist…

That I’m worth a damn, I’m starting to see it as true

…. Because I have the added value of having you.
