Always There Lyrics

I'm running away 

I've got to get home 

I'm lost in a crowd 

But I'm still on my own 

I'm looking ahead 

So I'm staying behind 

I'm not being cruel 

I'm just being kind 

I close my eyes 

It's no surprise 

I'm always there 

Can't count the times 

I've tried to hide 

And found nowhere 

I'm trying to lay low 

But I keep getting high 

My feet on the ground 

Got my head in the sky 

My eye on the future 

That's stuck in the past 

I find I can't lose 

When I aim to come last 

I realise 

It's no surprise 

That nothing's clear 

That black is white 

That day is night 

And there is here 

I'm right on the ball 

But I'm missing the mark 

I burn in the sun 

I'm scared of the dark 

Got an ivory tower 

With a bird's eye view 

Got plenty of time 

But nothing to do 

The best disguise 

It's no surprise 

Is disappear 

Can't count the times 

I've tried to hide 

And found nowhere 

I'm running away 

I've got to get home 

I'm lost in a crowd 

But I'm still on my own 

I'm looking ahead 

So I'm staying behind 

I'm not being cruel 

I'm just being kind 

I realise 

It's no surprise 

That nothing's clear 

That black is white 

That day is night 

And there is here 

The best disguise 

It's no surprise 

Is disappear 

Can't count the times 

I've tried to hide 

And found nowhere 

I close my eyes 

It's no surprise 

I'm always there 

Can't count the times 

I've tried to hide 

And found nowhere 

I realise 

It's no surprise 

That nothing's clear 

That black is white 

That day is night 

And there is here 

The best disguise 

It's no surprise 

Is disappear 

Can't count the times 

I've tried to hide 

And found nowhere
