[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

But I will always be near

I will always be near

Always be near

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

'Cause I will always be near

I will always be near

Always be near

[Chorus]

'Cause I will always be near

I will always be near

Always be near

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

I will always be near

I will always be near

Always be near

[Bridge]

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 a verse I've sung

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

[Chorus]

I will always be near (Always)

I will always be near (Always)

Always be near
