Oh Shannon when you close your eyes to dream
I lie here in the darkness
And watch you slowly breathe
And all this time
I don’t know why    you left me
And why you came back home

Oh Shannon does it really matter now?
I think I must be lucky but I don’t know how
To ask you why
And if I should try
To make you     stay around

So do you really think    that I could be the lucky one this round?
And do you really know            what it feels like when you’ve been found
But every day                 that I’m okay
I could make you   try and stay around

Oh Shannon take the time you need to take
I could pretend that I don’t mind when you break
My spirit’s rise                        I guess I’m not surprised
Anymore
But the next time that you’re walking out the door won’t you tell me

Could it really be            that I might be the lucky one this round
And do you really know            what it feels like when you’ve been found
But every day                 that I’m okay
I could make you   try and stay around
