[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
