Are You There?

[Verse 1]
I'm addicted to attention
Comprise with me on your affection
I'm infected with your worst, the doubts I hold with my hands burnt
And twist with nervousness until you come back home
I'm a sucker for your words
So go on and do whatever heaven knows
I'm afraid to face the worst, together doesn't work
I’d be more angry if this wasn't what I chose

[Chorus]
Are you there?
Or somewhere near?
I need a friend
I need you here

[Verse 2]
I'm addicted to the flaws, that's why your problems are "ours"
And I like to pretend we're better together, I guess
I'm affected by affection, the best connection was deceptive
That's how it goes, less talk so less questions
I over analyze the things you never say
The day to day monotony of our monogamy's change
And you're not here again, it's no surprise
I'm sure you're out there doing something I'll despise

[Chorus]
Are you there?
Or somewhere near?
I need a friend
I need you here
Are you there?
Or somewhere near?
I need a friend
I need you here

[Bridge]
Okay, I'll wait here alone
Even when you're near you're far from home
I couldn't leave you if I tried
Even back to back you're by my side
Okay, you're not the same
And even if I tried, I know I could never stop the change
I couldn't leave if I tried
'Cause even back to back you're by my side

[Chorus]
Are you there?
(Are you there?)
Or somewhere near?
(Or somewhere near?)
I need a friend
(I need a friend)
I need you here
(I need you here)
