John Fullbright
When You're Here
Ever changing, ever moving, ever finding, ever losing
Every moment of our choosing bears a cost
As for lonely I can show you
How to live a life alone
All it takes is getting used to getting lost
Some are lovers, some are leaches, some are flings on sandy beaches
some are silent ‘till the chances are all gone
The queen of hearts dreams a lover
From that cold, cold King about her
While the joker makes his bed up all alone
But don’t I feel like something when you’re here
Don’t I feel my lungs losing air
Don’t I feel I can show you I’m the one you can go to when you need another heartbeat near
Don’t I feel like something when you’re here
And in my heart stands a scarecrow and if he’s hurt he doesn’t say so
And he chases everything he loves away
But at night when it’s colder there’s a bluebird on his shoulder
And he whispers that he’ll hold her one bright day
Don’t I feel like something when you’re here
Don’t I feel my lungs losing air
Don’t I feel I can show you I’m the one you can go to when you need another heartbeat near
Don’t I feel like something when you’re here
