can't breathe without you (draft 11.1.09)

(tune ala cakes never there)

i feel how much i love you

i can feel it in my bones.

i wish you were right here, 

right now

right here in my arms.

i love you like ive never loved

anyone before.

i cant describe this feeling

it is so original.

i dont know what id do without you

right here in my life.

i know i could be something great

with you there by my side.

i am lost without you

and i dont know what to do

unless you are here with me

saying 'baby i love you'

and when its dark and im lonely 

i can think about your face

and everything youve done for me

and think about the taste

of your lips on my lips

and we fall into the bed

and i have everything i need

right here in my bed. 

CHORUS:

I cannot breathe without you

i dont know how ive survived

this long without you here with me

right here by my side

but all i know is when you are 

not near or in my arms,

there is a lack of color 

and there is a lack of charm.

i cannot live without you, dear,

you are my saving grace.

i know this when i look into your eyes,

when i look at your face. 

And i will survive

because i know

this is what youd want me to do.

And ill make it through

because im sure

the one who will be there

is you.
