I miss you, more than I'll ever admit
But I'm scared to find out what that means for you and me
And subsequently, I can't speak
So I'll just sing about what lies ahead
It's a mystery

First, just nod your head
Let me swallow my regrets

Let's begin, let's dive in
I'll be here
All we've got is time on our hands
I'll be here
Would you stay with me?

I don't want to get too close
But I'm inching closer as we speak
Make room for me
And I'm scared to death to lose it all
But for once I don't mind feeling so weak
How could this be?

First, just nod your head
Let me swallow my regrets

Let's begin, let's dive in
I'll be here
All we've got is time on our hands
I'll be here
Would you stay with me?

The airwaves between you and I
They're filled with noise, but we don't make a sound
We'll live this down
And I don't want to leave this place
Because I am so lost, but you make me feel so found
Lord, I want to be found
And I know you've got her
But I'm losing sight of myself, because she's around
And I know I'm singing selfishly
So I'll just leave you two be
And I really do hope you're happy
But just in case you're not
I'll be here

First, just nod your head
Let me swallow my regrets

Let's begin, let's dive in
I'll be here
All we've got is time on our hands
I'll be here
Would you stay with me?

I need opinions. First, on the song itself. Second, in the line "but I'm scared to find out what that means for you and me".. I know the correct grammar would be "you and I" but the song just doesn't sound right if I say it that way. Does it sound dumb if I use "you and me" anyways? And lastly, I need a title for this song. Feedback would be much appreciated.

amazing song, emily.
i'm no good at this,
but for titles, i was thinking,
like 'stay with me' or 'i'll be here'.
:P
