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
