Don't wish it away, say it's over to my face,
I face the morning with dreams that make my pillow wet,

She said she was into me but I was always in the way,

She pushed me away.

But I will always be near
I will always be near

Always be near

I set my clock for 7.30 every day.

And wait for you like I'm in a book or in a play.

I'm there outside with a weightlessness you can't escape,

Can't wish me away.

Cause I will always be near

I will always be near

Always be near

Cause I will always be near

I will always be near

Always be near

I will always be near
I will always be near

Always be near

Like a sniper in the wings, like the endless chattering,

Like the rope that twists in your hand and it's starting again

Like a shadow on your lung, like the verse I've sung,

Like the knife that twists in your hand and it's starting again

I will always be near
I will always be near

Always be near
