Can't Lose You

by Derek Webb

So you're gone
But I know you're not so far away
You're a call on the phone
Or a ride on a plane
But that just isn't the same

That's ok
Because I was never home anyway
So now everyone's evolving
And I am just the same
As I was ten years ago

But I don't know
Maybe the simple life
Is more the way to go
But then again
I'm mostly all alone

'Cause I'm losing everyone
But I know I can't lose you
And maybe my time will come
But I know I can't lose you

The older I get
The more that life is making sense
And it's similar to traffic
Or being president
'Cause I'm not the one in control

You grab a hold
I'm just a hammer
Helping to nail the future down
But it's getting hard
Making my friends leave town

But maybe I missed
The nose right on my face
For what's just past it
And maybe I have the gift
That everyone speaks to highly of
Funny how nobody wants it
