When You're Around

from Upside by Ivy Spokes

lyrics

I have a weight, so large; I can’t begin to lift it
I want to move so fast, but it is chaining me down
My body wants to walk away
My body needs to run away
I have to lift or pull or push it any way I can
Or my chance will leave with all the fight I ever had
So, that’s it, my mind is made
I see clearly

No time to waste, I’ve freed the chains and now I’m standing tall
But can’t seem to shake the feel that I’m against a wall
And I could still walk away
My body needs to run away
I am so close, I see, I hear, I taste it even
You’re standing there, alone, quick check to see I’m breathing
Now it’s too late to walk away
I see clearly

It’s the time it takes
For me to make mistakes
When you’re around, around
It’s feels like life or death
I’ll never catch my breath
When you’re around, around
I want to take you home

I have a weight, so large; I can’t begin to lift it
I want to move so fast, but it is chaining me down
My body wants to walk away
My body needs to run away
I have to lift or pull or push it any way I can
Or my chance will leave with all the fight I ever had
So, that’s it, my mind is made
I see clearly

It’s the time it takes
For me to make mistakes
When you’re around, around
It’s feels like life or death
I’ll never catch my breath
When you’re around, around
I want to take you home

I’ve got this weight that I can’t lift
It’s chained to me; I’m stuck with it
I take a breath so I can live
It is the last I have to give

It’s the time it takes
For me to make mistakes
When you’re around, around
It’s feels like life or death
I’ll never catch my breath
When you’re around, around
I want to take you home
