I asked my wife, Kristin, what should I write a song about. She suggested I hadn't written her a love song in a while. I started on this song and it kept veering away for a love song... but was finally put back on course with the chorus. Success!

Lyrics

Where Would I Be If Not For You?

My life’s sped up, I don’t know what to do...
How it occurred, I wish I only knew.
In a flash, became a dash,
Everything got weird,
Just like that, time just disappeared.

Chorus:
But then there’s you, darling, yeah there’s you,
You slow things down, you bring things into view.
You calm my racing mind, you’ve always been so kind.
I’m in pieces, but you are the glue...
Where would I be, if not for you?

My life’s sped up, I don’t know what to say...
What was a month now seems like a day.
Time’s rushing by, I can’t lie,
Everything’s a blur,
Just like that, life’s become absurd.

Chorus:
But then there’s you, darling, yeah there’s you,
You slow things down, you bring things into view.
You calm my racing mind, you’ve always been so kind.
I’m in pieces, but you are the glue...
Where would I be, if not for you?

My life’s sped up, I’m feeling such despair...
What the heck, it’s feel so unfair.
I feel so lost, at such a cost...
Boxed in with this fear,
Hope I can make it through this year.

Chorus:
But then there’s you, darling, yeah there’s you,
You slow things down, you bring things into view.
You calm my racing mind, you’ve always been so kind.
I’m in pieces, but you are the glue...
Where would I be, if not for you?
