I Won't Need You

I wipe the dirt in circles on the window so I can see the rain sweep the bay
The clouds stretch till tomorrow, it was raining yesterday
If you could break this silence, I wouldn't like what you'd say
I won't need you tomorrow, like I needed you today.

This silence is infectious and the cold it soaks you through
I forgot where we were going, what makes things worse is so did you
The moon floats above the river and the wind begins to pray
I won't need you in the morning, like I needed you today

Now there's nobody here but you and me, no there's nobody here but you and me
I'm staring in your eyes, if you'd only open them to see

So go on hold his hand, it probably fits better than mine
Don't think about me when you're laughing. I wouldn't want to spoil your good time
After every word we wasted, now there's nothing left to say
I won't love you tomorrow. I still love you today

Now there's nobody here but you and me, no there's nobody here but you and me
I'm getting up to go; I've got places to be
