You Can't Be Here - Nathan Barr & Dimitri Smith

Throw my ticket out the window Throw my suitcase out there, too Throw my troubles out the door I don't need them any more 'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you I should have left this town this morning But it was more than I could do For, your love comes on so strong And I've waited all day long For tonight when I'll be staying here with you Is it really any wonder The love that a stranger might receive? You cast your spell and I went under I find it so difficult to leave I can hear that whistle blowin' I see that stationmaster, too If there's a poor boy on the street Then let him have my seat 'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you Throw my ticket out the window Throw my suitcase out there, too Throw my troubles out the door I don't need them any more 'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you

Lying in my bed again And I cry 'cause you're not here Crying in my head again And I know that it's not clear Put your hands, put your hands Inside my face and see that it's just you But it's bad and it's mad And it's making me sad Because I can't be with you Be with you, be with you Be with you, be with you Be with you, be with you Baby, I can't be with you Thinking back on how things were And on how we loved so well I wanted to be the mother of your child And now it's just farewell Put your hands in my hand And come with me, I'll find another end And my head, and my head On anyone's shoulder 'Cause I can't be with you Be with you, be with you Be with you, be with you Be with you, be with you Baby, I can't be with you 'Cause you're not here, you're not here Baby, I can't be with you 'Cause you're not here, you're not here Baby, still in love with you, na na na Na na na na na na, still in love with you Na na na na na na, still in love with you Na na na na na na, still in love with you

We met, of all places, in front of Gristides Some freakishly cold winter's day I had on several unflattering layers of wool He slipped on the ice with his grocery bags full So I rescued some Froot Loops he dropped by the curb And he made some remark that my smile was superb I thought that was sweet and I started to go When he said, "Hey, whatcha doing tomorrow? Because I'll be here At the corner of Bleaker and Mercer tomorrow at seven If you want to meet up, I'll be waiting right here And in case there are two fellas waiting for you My name's John" He waved, and then He was gone Needless to say, I went back there to meet him Mostly to see if he'd show And there he was Out in the cold, with his jacket pulled tight He took me to dinner and kissed me goodnight The next week, we went to this terrible play And the week after that, drank hot chocolate all day And suddenly, eight or nine months had flown by When he said "Hey, whatcha doing the rest of your life? Because I'll be here Right beside you, as long as you want me to be There's no question There is nothing I've wanted so much in my life This might sound immature But I'm totally sure You're the one" And we had just begun! We got hitched in September, our favorite month With a rock band that played in this old synagogue And we bought an apartment, on West 17th Street And talked about children and getting a dog Our first anniversary came in a flash And we promised to take the day off He had to stop into his office that morning, and so I went walking uptown to this bakery I know When I heard on the street, what I thought was a joke Till I noticed the sirens and saw all the smoke So I'm running back home with this feeling of dread To the voicemail he left With the last words he said I'm sorry I don't mean to ruin your evening By bringing up all of this stuff You're probably wondering why I even called you tonight Well, today something happened that spooked me alright I saw this stormcloud of papers fall down from the sky And I thought of that day, and I started to cry When as sure as I breathe, I heard John, clear as day Saying, "Hey, you're allowed to move on It's okay Because I'll be here Even if you decide to get rid of my favorite sweater Even if you go out on my birthday this year Instead of sitting at home Letting all of life's moments pass by You don't have to cry! Because I'll be here When you start going back to the places we went to together When you take off my ring, and you let yourself smile When you meet someone handsome and patient and true When he says that he wants to be married to you When you call him one night, and he meets you downtown When you finally answer him yes..." Yes! Jason... I will marry you I will give you my heart It has taken so long But I'm ready to start Right now John's whispering 'congrats' in my ear Cause I finally let myself tell you That I will be here
