Look inside me, I’m the same, my big brown eyes can see your fears
If you’re standing close beside me I could bring you some relief
If you take me as you find me you will find I’ll try to please
It always helps to know there’s someone sharing your beliefs

If you’re feeling tired and lonely and you’re searching for a hand
I can’t make you any promise but I’ll try to understand
If you want someone to talk to I’ll listen all the night
Put myself in your position, try to put things right
Steer a steady line

I could want you
Pin your colours to my ensign and I’ll show you my respect
My faith will always hold me to it
Let you know there’s always something left

It’s better than being alone
Given time we’ll make our chances
Take advantage, get along
Let’s turn to fact our wildest dreams
My life’s too short for disappointments

I could want you
Because it’s better than being alone

So long since we were entwined
I hope the intervening period has been kind
Different pressures got too much
I stood so far back waiting that I missed my chances, contemplating
Always hoped we’d stay in touch
Lost my nerve and now I haven’t seen you for years

Missing you, missing out, missing all the fun

Long gone days, special times
That left an imprint on my mind
Now wherever you may be
You’re not alone, and you’re not without me
I’m thinking about you

I don’t want to stand on your toes or push you too hard
I might fall on my face or from grace, hoist on my own petard
I’m trying not to make you feel you have to follow me around
I’d soon lose my appeal when you see me flounder on my own

For in the time it takes you to decide
The chances are I’ll have changed my mind

So we’ll play out our game of wait and see
Let the world pass us by quite patiently
Left behind, unbeknown, just you and me
While we leave our frame of mind exposed

I just can’t through when I question you, and you stall me all the while
All I contribute leaves you more confused, the whole exercise futile

And I know it’s cruel when I question you and you think I’m being unkind
But all I’m trying to do is get your point of view
Then I could let myself unwind.

Item descriptionFate throws together strange bed friends
And where one starts another ends in my recent dealings
We had our chance and time would tell
That when it worked it worked quite well
Or so I perceived it
But when our luck ran colder
You’d just shrug your shoulders
Life’s never boring crossing swords with someone new

All those pretentious games you played
Rubbing shoulders, making waves for the sake of outrage
While I contemplated all of the time I wasted
You’d look askance not missing a chance to prove me wrong
Whilst waiting for plaudits which of course would never come

I look around I’m not like anyone
I see no need why I need more foppish friends
That’s where the story ends
Perhaps I’m just a homeboy
