What if I'd never seen hysterical light from Eugene?
Lemon yoghurt, remember I pulled at your shirt I dropped the ashtray on the floor
I just wanted to be near you
Emerald Park, wonders never cease
The man who taught me to swim, he couldn't quite say my first name
Like a Father he led community water on my head And he called me Subaru
And now I want to be near you
Since I was old enough to speak I've said it with alarm
Some part of me was lost in your sleeve Where you hid your cigarettes
No I'll never forget
I just want to be near you
Still I pray to what I cannot see
In the sprinkler I mark the evidence known from the start
From the bed near your death, and all the machines that made a mess Far away the falcon flew
Now I want to be near you
What's left is only bittersweet
For the rest of my life, admitting the best is behind me
Now I'm drunk and afraid, wishing the world would go away What's the point of singing songs
If they'll never even hear you?
