With Or Without (You)

I was just 18 singing songs in the summer time
And we would dream and listen to lullabies
So I got thinking, to make a living
I would write songs about our lives

I took a trip down to Virginia in the spring time
And by the fall we had 5 songs and dreams in our minds
And so the times change, just like the seasons do
I should have left, then, couldn't get over you

I need to move far away
'Cause nothing gold can ever stay
I've got nothing to lose

I'll live with or without you
You'll fall when no one surrounds you
Realize there's no one to miss you
I'll never love you never like they do
I'll live with or without you
You'll fall when no one surrounds you
I'll live with or without you

We packed our bags and drove through Chicago
We passed through Memphis on our way to the left coast
We saw so many days, days passed and memories made
This was life on the road

We lived the high life
It was fast and so free
But time changed everyone
And it included me

So our lives changed
Just liked the seasons do
I should have left then
But I still love you

I need to move far away
'Cause nothing gold can ever stay
I've got nothing to lose

I'll live with or without you
You'll fall when no one surrounds you
Realize there's no one to miss you
I'll never love you never like they do
I'll live with or without you
You'll fall when no one surrounds you
And you'll realize

So forget what you know
Move on and let it go
You wasted too much time
In thoughts of other lives
I see the other side
It's filled with better times
One filled with summer vibes
Just like our old lives
With or without you

I'll live with or without you
You'll fall when no one surrounds you
Realize there's no one to miss you
I'll never love you never like they do
I'll live with or without you
You'll fall when no one surrounds you
And you'll realize
I'll live with or without you
