about

A song about the process of splitting with someone you love and the constant pain of losing them and wanting nothing more than to get them back. 

lyrics

I've been workin' hard to act like it don't matter
Tryin' to tell myself things will be alright
Doing all I can to push you from my memory
When I just wanna be with you tonight

It's a full time job distractin' myself nightly
And an uphill climb, this battle that I fight
When all I want's to hold you baby in my lovin' arms
I just wanna be with you tonight

I just wanna be with you darlin'
Sometimes feels like there ain't no relief in sight
My heart feels like a thumb smashed by a hammer, oh yeah
I just wanna be with you tonight
I just wanna be with you tonight

I've been tossin' in my bed, I can't get comfy
It'd been playin' down my pain to call it light
You'd be doin' all my friends a great big favor
I just wanna be with you tonight

I just wanna be with you darlin'
Sometimes feels like there ain't no relief in sight
My heart feels like a thumb smashed by a hammer, oh yeah
I just wanna be with you tonight
I just wanna be with you tonight

I'd pop a pill if I thought it would help me
I've been boilin' hot and gettin' tired of bein' polite
When I just wanna holler from the highest mountain top
I just wanna be with you tonight
I just wanna be with you tonight

I long to feel your soothin' breath on my skin
I have sat up watchin' you all night
I would sleep a thousand years, but I don't think it'd help
I just wanna be with you tonight

I just wanna be with you my darlin'
Sometimes feels like there ain't no relief in sight
My heart feels like a thumb smashed by a hammer, oh yeah, oh yeah
And I just wanna be with you tonight
I just wanna be with you tonight
I just wanna be with you tonight
