Well I want you as you are

Not some collapsing star

I'll wait I'll wait for good

What else can I do.

I don't want you as a ghost

I don't want you as a fading light

I don't want to be the weight you carry

I just want to be the man you come home to every night.

Well I want you as you are

Don't be someone you're not

The kids that we once were

They wouldn't know us now.

I don't want you as a ghost

I don't want you as a fading light

I don't want to be the weight you carry

I just want to be the man you come home to every night.

I don't want you as a ghost

I don't want you as a fading light

I don't want to be the weight you carry

I just want to be the man you come home to

I just want to be the man you come home to every night.
