When You'Re With Me

It was a gray overcast day
Humid and ordinary to anybody else
But it to me it was special in every way

We met up at this little place
Over your food and my drink we talked
I barely touched it cause there's nothing I'd rather look at than your face
I take you naturally in like oxygen when you're with me

On a gray day we set a fire at our table
Everything else just melted away
I liked the way I made you laugh
Your face fell into your hands
I loved the way you smiled at me

And when we took a walk in the parking lot
Everything else is what I forgot
Just an ordinary place
But the best thing was that smile on your face 
That's when you said "I'm so happy"
I love it when you're with me

The sun was setting as we were resting by the water
I was sitting on the rail as we spoke
The way you really looked at me 
I'm not sure if I'm drowning in you or floating on you like water
I liked the way you looked up as me as you stood by me while I sat
I loved the way you smiled at me

So you drove me home
I loved it when you said I was yours
Sitting beside you it felt so right
It's crazy to say but maybe, possibly this is how we should live our lives
My favorite passenger seat is yours
Cause it's so right when you're with me

This is where I want to be
Anywhere is beautiful as long as you're with me
