Near

So many times, this life of mines a giant mess

Of mumbled sighs and bungled tries to make some sense

Of news headlines that summarize the days events

Into piles of lies that are disguised as compliments

Days composed of stacks of folders and vacant stares

Making me older a tired soldier in the army of the scared

Chorus:

But when youre near

The madness all subsides

Theres logic in your eyes

And clarity that reaffirms my life

And from nowhere hope appears when youre near.

I agonize to try and find a place a to stand

On such fine lines but I cant decide where to put my hands

All around me I was in over my head

Then you found me, you put your arms around me

And made it not hurt quite as bad

But when youre near

The madness all subsides

Theres logic in your eyes

And clarity that reaffirms my life

And when youre near, whispering my name

Insanity seems sane

And all at once, my tunnel glows with light

And from nowhere hope appears when youre near

And all my fears disappear when youre near
