[Verse 1]
Throw me a lifeline, not for the first time
I'm on a sinking ship going down with it
I don't know why, but I'm in need of it tonight
But I can't get back off this beating track

[Pre-Hook]
Every time I'm far away from you, far away from you
I forget just how it is with you, how it is
I don't want to take you home to bed
Every time you call

[Hook]
I wanna be there, I wanna be there
I wanna be there, I wanna be there

So he told me, told me I'd see
Nothing's gonna change we'll stay the same
You can find me, you know where I am gunna be
Dreaming home sweet home chasing your shadow

[Pre-Hook]
Every time I'm far away from you, far away from you
I forget just how it is with you, how it is
I don't want to take you home to bed
Every time you call

[Hook]
I wanna be there, I wanna be there
I wanna be there, I wanna be there

[Bridge]
I wanna be loved, gotta be brave
Nothing left to say
I wanna be loved, gotta be brave

[Hook]
I wanna be there, I wanna be there
I wanna be there, I wanna be there

[Bridge - Variation]
I wanna be loved, gotta be brave
Wish that I could make a change
I wanna be loved, gotta be brave
Guess I'll have to find a way
I wanna be loved, gotta be brave
There's nothing else to say, I wanna be loved

[Hook]
I wanna be there, I wanna be there
I wanna be there, I wanna be there

[Outro]
I wanna be loved, gotta be brave
Nothing else to say
I wanna be loved, gotta be brave
I wanna be there, I wanna be there
