LYRICS
If not for you, babe, I couldn’t find the door,
Couldn’t even see the floor,
I’d be sad and blue, if not for you.

If not for you, the night would see me wide awake,
The day would surely have to break,
It would not be new, if not for you.

If not for you, my sky would fall, rain would gather, too.
Without your love, I’d be nowhere at all.
I’d be lost if not for you.
And you know it’s true.

If not for you, the winter would hold no spring.
I couldn’t hear the robin sing.
I just wouldn’t have a clue, if not for you.

Lyrics:

An old couple in a caravan, A.M. radio, they’re holding hands. While I’m holding to my coffee cup, wonderin’ if I’ll ever find that kind of luck.

‘Cause time don’t make it easier, you know. And I try to keep the days, but they always go. And it ain’t love if you leave it in the past. Good Lord, give me something that’s built to last.

These days, I get the feeling like I’m being used. These hours leave me weak, and these weeks, abused. It all starts to break you down when you’re twisting all the lights, and it’s just not around.

I’ll let the tide come and take me out to sea. I’ll let the water burnish the worthwhile parts of me.

An Old Couple in a Caravan

Lyrics:

I think I need some nachos; everything's irritating me right now. I tried my Elton John, but not even Levon can calm me down.

Maybe I should take a break from my Adderall; maybe I should tell the doctor that I take it at all.

Well, if I'm sorry, would that bring you to me? Well, if I'm sorry, would that much you believe?

I like to watch movies—could I get paid to do that sort of thing? We could have been a doctor; we could have been a lawyer and a king.

Maybe I should go to sleep before I use my phone; maybe I should stay awake and call everyone I know.

I thought I would be better; I thought they all were fools. I thought that Zack Morris had taught me all the rules.

Max Yoder writes songs. This one is called "Haunts," and it features a big-boy piano, a toy piano, a cello, and some clapping.

LYRICS:
I wrote you your favorite song; now I sing it all day long, and I’d like to sing your favorite song to you.

So tell me how it came to pass—how something big went gone so fast—and why, like me, you don’t want to find it, too.

Please advise, please see below—where I cracked the rib, where I kissed the nose—and explain just what’s left to want.

But, from a perch, perception fell. You found you liked me not so well, and I found the ghost of loneliness haunts.

If I catch you screaming,
A tear falling from your eye,
I won’t consult the demon,
Who wrestles with the why.

I wrote you your favorite song; now I sing it all day long, and I’d like to sing your favorite song to you.
