friday night beneath the stars
in a field behind your yard
you and i are painting pictures in the sky
sometimes we don't say a thing
just listen to the crickets sing
everything i need is right here by my side

and i know everything about you
i don't wanna live without you

chorus
i'm only up when you're not down
don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground
it's like no matter what i do
well, you drive me crazy half the time
the other half i'm only trying
to let you know that what i feel is true
and i'm only me when i'm with you

just a small-town boy and girl
livin' in the crazy world
trying to figure out what is and isn't true
and i don't try to hide my tears
the secrets or my deepest fears
through it all nobody gets me like you do

and you know everything about me
you say that you can't live without me

repeat chorus

when i'm with anybody else
it's so hard to be myself
and only you can say

that i'm only up when you're not down
don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground.
it's like no matter what i do
well, you drive me crazy half the time
the other half i'm only trying
to let you know that what i feel is true
and i'm only me, who i wanna be
well, i'm only me when i'm with you, with you
