Still Here

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

You lie beside me with your eyes somewhere far

I reach across the sheets and touch your hand

You smile like a photograph of a happy man

But the light inside has gone where I can't follow

Pre-Chorus

I keep the lamp on low

Hoping you might see me

I say your name so slow

Hoping it might reach you

Chorus

I want to feel you want me

I want to feel you here

You're holding me so gently

But you're not really near

I want to feel you want me

The way I wanted you

But something in the winter of your mind

Won't let the summer through

Post-Chorus

(Oh-oh) won't let the summer through

(Oh-oh) come back to me

Verse 2

You tell me that you love me and I know it's true

You say it like a promise you can't keep

I count the small affections you still find for me

Like coins a tired swimmer drops too deep

Pre-Chorus

I keep my patience warm

Hoping you might thaw out

I hold you through the storm

Hoping it will pass now

Chorus

I want to feel you want me

I want to feel you here

You're holding me so gently

But you're not really near

I want to feel you want me

The way I wanted you

But something in the winter of your mind

Won't let the summer through

Bridge

I am not the one who's leaving

I am not the one who's cold

I will wait through every season

Till you come back to my hold

Breakdown

(Oh-oh) I'm still here

(Oh-oh) I'm still here

Chorus

I want to feel you want me

I want to feel you here

You're holding me so gently

But you're not really near

I want to feel you want me

The way I wanted you

But something in the winter of your mind

Won't let the summer through

Post-Chorus

(Oh-oh) won't let the summer through

(Oh-oh) I'll wait for you
