Found a hole and slipped on through
Kissed the stone and learnt the lines
Jumped the cue all the time forgetting you

Best dishevelled lover 3 years running
Coming second to
A picket fence white 9-5
Whos just alive

Beyond repair, there is nothing to say
Save some fading regrets
Yet I can’t be without this
I want you to be around
I need you to be around
I need you to say you’ll be around
I need you to be around

Spit-shone lies, juggled debts
Planted flags and made regrets
Muddled through all the time
Forgetting you

I need you to be around
I want you to say you’ll be around
I need you to be around

Cut your teeth and breezed on to
Another brothers fickle ways
So why amazed when it don’t
Come / turn out your way

I want you to be around
