My love, I lack the confidence
To say what's on my mind
I guess I'm prone to shaking, sweat
Confounded every time
I see you do the things you do
Pale and bright you shine

Because I need you here with me
I need you just to see me
I need you here with me
It is only a dream to me

I knew that you could save my life
Without a word exchanged
Your way with words, so insecure
Can barely speak my name
My crumpled spine, and faulty lines
I'm sick and small and strange

I need you here with me
I need you just to see me
I need you here with me
It is only a dream to me

I saw you standing there
Along with your guitar
Like I was staring into the mirror
Seeing the same sad scar
I want to reach into you
I want to hold you here
But the tremors in your body make it hard to sleep

Yeah, the tremors in my body make it hard to speak these words

I need you here with me
I need you just to see me
I need you here with me
Yeah, it is only a dream to me

I need you here with me
I need you just to see me
I need you here with me
Yeah, it is only a dream to me

(I saw you standing there
Along with your guitar
Like I was staring into the mirror)
