about

“I’ve Got” is about missing my beloved, from a time when I lived alone, waiting for her to come and live with me. I slept holding a nightshirt that she had left behind, scant comfort compared to the real warmth of the woman herself. On good nights she would call me, and I would sing her to sleep. I know that those were the only nights when I slept well myself...

lyrics

I’ve Got
by Harper Meader

I’ve got the clothes you left behind last week
Rolled up in a ball beside my head,
So I can smell the perfume that you wear
When I’m lying in my bed.
I’ve got that picture of you on my bedside stand,
The one where you’re holding back your hair.
When you give me that look, you can lead,
I’ll follow anywhere.

If you call me tonight, I’ll sing you a love song
To carry you through another night.
I need to hear you tell me it won’t be too much longer
‘Til you’re home, and everything’s alright.

I’ve got this memory that won’t leave my mind,
A picnic and the wine is nearly gone.
A hummingbird flew close, and made you smile,
More lovely than the sun.
I’ve got this thing you said when we were holding hands,
I wrote it down to get me through some storms.
You said, “I’m most at home when I am in your heart,
And when I’m in your arms.”

I’ve got an empty space that’s shaped like you,
Here beside me while I try to sleep.
The peace of mind you bring me when you’re home
Is all I really need.
I’ve got myself put down for one more night,
Lying here alone with my phone,
Hoping you will call, and carry me
Through another night alone.
