The sun has blessed The rays are gone And all the kids have left their tears and gone home Sweet 17, sour 29 And I can't explain myself What I'd hoped to find You were all so kind When I was near And if you're still feeling down Then maybe you need me around To love and hold you Don't say I hadn't told you so Maybe you need me around I had no luck I had no shame I had no cause just 17 days of rain And you in my eyes Just one more song to slay this earth And I can't explain myself Just what it's worth It was all I had but not all I need And I can't escape the fact that I still bleed And if you're still feeling down And if this seems way too loud Then maybe you need me around I had no voice I had no drive I had no choice I've done my time I had myself Had my band I had my love Had no hand in watching it all fall apart And if you're still feeling down Then maybe you need me around To lift and scold you To send you crashing alright now Maybe you need me around
