Album: Unwind

Are You There?

When I feel too far away
From where I want to be
There's nothing left for me, yeah
When I feel too close to breathe
Like a baby cutting teeth
In you I find relief

'Cause when it's more than I can take
I pushed and pulled to break
A sucker for a saint in your eyes
Criticism comes in waves
Numbering our days
But only you can save me

Is anybody even there
who doesn't just pretend to care
This time I need to know - are you there
Does anybody think they can
Begin to even understand
This time I need to know - are you there

Hang on, hang on
I know, I know

It's the lie that we believe
A truth that we conceive
That lies inside of me
When I leave it all behind
Something hypnotized
The moment that it's mine

Is anybody even there
Who doesn't just pretend to care
This time I need to know - are you there
Does anybody think they can
Begin to even understand
this time I need to know - are you there

Is anybody even there
Who doesn't just pretend to care
This time I need to know - are you there
Does anybody think they can
Begin to even understand
This time I need to know - are you there
