Well I want you as you are
Not some collapsing star
I'll wait I'll wait for good
What else can I do
I don't want you as a ghost
I don't want you
as a fading light
I don't want to be
the weight you carry
I just want to be the man
you come home to every night
Well I want you as you are
Don't be someone you're not
The kids that we once were
They wouldn't know us now
I don't want you as a ghost
I don't want you as a fading light
I don't want to be
the weight you carry
I just want to be the man
you come home to every night
I don't want you as a ghost
I don't want you as a fading light
I don't want to be
the weight you carry
I just want to be the man
you come home to
I just want to be the man
you come home to every night
