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 I need me around
To love and hold you
Don't say I hadn't told you so
Maybe I 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
Then maybe I need me around
To let them scold you
And don't say I hadn't told you so
Maybe I need me around
I had no voice
I had no drive
I had no choice
I've done my time
I had my self
I had my band
I had my love
And I had no hand
In watching it all fall apart
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 I need me around
