(Verse)
Don't wish it away,
Say it's over to my face,

I face the morning with dreams that take 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)
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,
You can't wish me away


(Chorus x2)
Cos I will always be near

I will always be near
Always be near


(Chorus)
I will always be near
I will always be near

Always be near

(Verse)

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 lungs,
Like the verse I've sung,
Like the knife that twists in your hand and it's starting again


(Chorus)
I will always be near

I will always be near
Always be near
