[Verse 1]

What's the use of reaching for your heart when we sail miles apart?

I gave you tomorrow's useless broken try to make our world alive

I'm free from lover's breathless scream following me

Perhaps you could just take one small chance and see maybe you need me

[Chorus 1]

I'm the man that stands behind you

Real calm while you prove yourself

Understand that there is someone

Waiting till the curtains close

[Verse 2]

Me, I'm a watercolour washing off to the deepest sea

Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in light

[Chorus 2]

I'm the man that stands behind you

Real calm while you prove yourself

Out beyond your claim to freedom

A field wide, I can meet you there

[Chorus 3]

I shut my eyes and all the world drops

I lift them and you're born again

Out beyond your claim to freedom

A field wide, I can meet you there

[Chorus 4]

I'm the man that stands behind you

Real calm while you prove yourself

I will come back here at sunrise

A lover who waits all night
