I got a story it takes all night
You were restless you were starlight
I was less or more the same
After all the cymbals rang
Hi hat trim some fat for me
Give me something for my money
You were searching for the kind
Of love you never leave behind for nobody

You were my kickdrum beat
You were that one way street oh where was I
You were that soul backbeat
How do I do without you now

I'll be here at least all week
Make you laugh make you coffee
Losing all track of time
I never felt the words were mine

You were my kickdrum beat
You were that one way street oh who was I
You were that soul backbeat
How do I do without you now

How do I do without you
How do I do without you
How do I do without you now
How do I do without you

Snare drum rolls but who controls the oxygen
Man I can't breathe
Underwater poems on cemetery phones
Binoculars help but I can't see me

Get to the point man don't pretend
You got the talk now walk the fences
Then was such a first for me
Now they spit the curse of me

You were my kickdrum beat
You were that one way street oh what was I
You were that soul backbeat
So how do I do without you now
You were my kickdrum beat
(how do I do without you)
You were that one way street oh who was I
You were that soul backbeat
(how do I do without you)
So how do I go without you now

How do I do without you
