Well, disaster it strikes on a daily basis I'm looking for wisdom in all the wrong places But still want to laugh in disappointed faces You can't help me Blinded by these Heroes and Thieves at my door I can't seem to tell them apart anymore Just when I've figured it out Well darlin' it's you I'm without Well I'm stubborn and wrong But at least I know it Keep moving along until I can get through this But maybe this song is the best I can do it So I'm patiently waiting on these Heroes and Thieves at my door I can't seem to tell them apart anymore Just when I've figured it out Well darlin' it's you Darlin' it's you oh Darlin' it's you I'm Without your comforting logic Like these days are the ones I'll miss And I see a solitude that I can't find without you Ah ah, ah La da da Well, it seems like I'm getting closer somehow A flicker of peace that I've finally found Thank you for believing in me now 'Cause I do need it Well, give me a year or two And I'll mend my ways and see these mistakes and When I see the truth Well, darlin' trust me When I can't see I'll be coming back, I'll be coming back to you These heroes and thieves at my door I can't seem to tell them apart anymore Just when I've figured it out Well, darlin' it's you Darlin' it's you Well, darling it's you I'm without Ah, ah, ah
