Baby-By Lyrics

It's a little late, I'm a little lost at sea

You're a shadow in the corner hanging over me

How did we get here, how did I never see

That an opened door was opened for me

You're a little lost, I'm a little isolated

Like there's a party going on and I am not invited

But I come back to you, lay on your side

All through the flight

One by one, me and you, digging into the ground

Leave me space, hold my hand

When we are together you can

Fall asleep, baby-by

In thirteen years we never said goodbye

Early this morning I thought I saw you cry

Let's while away the hours as the rivers dry

These days go by

Up all night, turning over everything that you said

There are words that I can't get out of my goddamn head

That you treat me better than I treat you, and you let it

Hang in the air like you always do

One by one I count my blessings

It's a struggle to remind myself what I'm not missing

And I kiss your forehead delicately

And thank god that he made you for me

Fall asleep, baby-by

In thirteen years we never said goodbye

Early this morning I thought I saw you cry

Let's while away the hours as the rivers dry

These days go by

These days go by

Fall asleep, baby-by

In thirteen years we never said goodbye

Early this morning I thought I saw you cry

Let's while away the hours as the rivers dry

These days go by

Days go by and they don't come back

I was only 19 when I went for the attack

I was only aware of you peripherally

Till the day we met under the white pine tree

You had a Madvillain poster on the door

And a well-worn button-down shirt on the floor

I wasn't sure how this would all end

But I love you even more than I did back then

I love you even more than I did back then
