lyrics

here i am, i guess this is me
but i ain't sure i'm all i thought i'd be
but i never thought much
and it is

i love you my friends i know that you're there
but sometimes i forget because i ain't there
and i think about
what could've was

chorus.

this place that i am is where i wanna be
but this place that i am ain't all it could be
cause you ain't here
and i guess that you won't

growing up i guess that it happens
but it makes me sad, cause it happens
and i guess
it ain't what it was

there you are, in another state
and here i am in another state
but not of mind
certainly not of heart

i guess that the feeling that i feel most
is the urge to embrace the ghost
of the thoughts i didn't have
and the dreams we didn't do

chorus.

there you are, there i ain't
i've met the devil, i'd swear he's a saint
he know what i want
he knows you're the what

cryings a thing that we all do
and time's a thing that we all do
and i'm a thing
with or without you
