“Still Around”
[VERSE 1]
IN THIS LIFE OF UNCERTAINTY
THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT WE ALL NEED
SOMEONE TO FACE YOU, WITH NO DISGUISE
IN YOU THERES A REMEDY
THAT MAKES EVERYDAY SEEM TROUBLE FREE
NO DISTANCE AND NO DEVICE
[BRIDGE 1]
‘COS YOU HEAR THE WORDS
WHEN NO ONE UNDERSTANDS
[CHORUS]
WHEN MY WORLD HAS COME UNDONE
AND I’VE LOST MY SETTING SUN
WHEN ALL I SEE ARE CLOUDS
YOU’RE STILL AROUND
WHEN I FALL INTO A TEAR
INSPIRATIONS DISAPPEAR
YOU CLEAR AWAY THAT DOUBT
‘COS YOU’RE STILL, YOU’RE STILL AROUND
[VERSE 2]
NOW I’VE STUMBLED ON UNCERTAINTY
NEVER THOUGHT THIS COULD EVER BE
NO CONTRADICTIONS LEFT INSIDE
WHEN I FEEL THE RAIN COME MY WAY
YOU GIVE ME SUN, YOU’RE MY BRIGHTER DAY
INTUITION’S TELLING ME TO STAY
[BRIDGE 2]
‘COS YOU HOLD THE WORDS WHEN NOTHINGS LEFT TO SAY
[CHORUS]
[VERSE 3]
IN THIS LIFE OF UNCERTAINTY
THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT WE ALL NEED
SOMEONE TO FACE YOU, WITH NO DISGUISE
IN YOU THERES A REMEDY
THAT MAKES EVERYDAY SEEM TROUBLE FREE
NO DISTANCE AND NO DEVICE
[BRIDGE 3]
‘COS YOU HOLD THE WORDS
WHEN NOTHINGS LEFT TO SAY
[CHORUS REPEAT X 2]
