I'll Be Around
Bare Jr. Bobby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
the spotlight cant provide
i'll be around
when you get too far off track
and get lost on your way back
ill be around
have all stopped droppin in
ill be around
on your way down
when you cant recognize
your face in the morning light
ill be around
on your way down
and if you ever get around to looking for me
dont bother asking where I've been seen
oh I'm in the same place that you left me
caressing your memory
ba ba ba ba ba ba
ba ba ba ba ba ba (repeat)
when you feel him let go
cause all the thrills have gone
ill be around
when all belief runs out
cause all good faith has ground
ill be around
on your way down
when you're afraid to cry
cause you're not sure whats inside
ill be around
on your way down
when its late at night
and you need someone to fight
ill be around
on your way down
if you ever get around to looking for me
dont bother asking where I've been seen
oh i'm in the same place that you left me
caressing your memory, oh
ba ba ba ba ba ba
ba ba ba ba ba ba (repeat)

and you need someone to fight
And you need someone to stand up for you and fight for you,

I'll be there to defend you and protect you,
if you ever get around to looking for me
If one day you decide to seek me out,
don't bother asking where I've been seen
Don't bother asking around about me,
oh i'm in the same place that you left me
I'm still waiting for you in the same spot you left me,
caressing your memory, oh
Still thinking of the good times we had,
