Don't wish it away, just 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.
But I will always be near
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,
Cos I will always be near
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 a lung, like the verse I've sung, like the knife that twists in your hand
and it's starting again
