lyrics

It’s only when it’s dark that I feel like I can talk to you like this
and I’m speaking so soft that the words can barely tumble past my lips
Babe, you know the truth is I haven’t been myself for quite a while
and I try to bite it back but it sinks its teeth in when I see you smile

The light from out the door is the only thing to separate our form
and I don’t know how to say what I feel so I just wrap you in my arms
The weary voice inside is the same as that which whispers in your ear
singing, “What happens to us when you leave in June and I’m still standing here?”

and there you go

Just keep me on your mind, babe, ‘cause giving up is easy
Giving up is easy when you’re a hundred miles away
Just keep me on your mind, babe, ‘cause giving up is easy
Giving up is easy but we’ve got to try, I just can’t let this go

It’s running through my mind when you tell me all the things that you’ll miss most
and I’ll try to fake a smile and I’ll tell you, “Just keep all the best things close”
I guess you know me best ‘cause you always see just when it hits me hard
and you grin a little less every time I pawn it off on my guitar

and there you go

Just keep me on your mind, babe, ‘cause giving up is easy
Giving up is easy when you’re a hundred miles away
Just keep me on your mind, babe, ‘cause giving up is easy
Giving up is easy but we’ve got to try, I just can’t let this go

I know I stress you out when I can’t keep this down
Will it be me and not the miles that make you feel so far away?
If you won’t want this then and this is just pretend
then is it me and not the miles that make you feel so far away?

and when I really get this way
I keep you on my mind, babe, ‘cause giving up is easy
Giving up is easy but we’ve got to try
You’re always on my mind, babe, and giving up is easy
Giving up is easy but we’ve got to try I just won’t let this go
