Right Behind You
Our Lady Peace Lyrics

You haven't seen the world outside for days
It has been days since you have ventured outside and seen the world around you.

You sleep, you hope, you wait
You spend your time sleeping, hoping, and waiting for something to change in your life.

Imagination disappears
Your once-vivid imagination is now gone, leaving you feeling uninspired and unmotivated.

And all the dreams you have you save
Despite the loss of your imagination, you still hold onto your dreams, and refuse to give up on them.

Confrontation like a mirror
When faced with confrontation or opposition, you see a reflection of yourself and your own weaknesses.

They try to take your mind away
Others try to control and manipulate you, taking away your ability to think for yourself.

I don't know, but I believe in yesterday
I may not understand everything, but I still have faith in the past and the experiences that have shaped me.

And what it means
I find significance in those experiences and try to learn from them.

To bleed and know that you're okay
Sometimes it takes pain and suffering to realize that you are strong enough to make it through and be okay on the other side.

Are you waiting?
Are you waiting for someone or something to come and change your life for the better?

No matter what you say
No matter how you try to push me away or shut me out,

No matter what you do
No matter the actions you take or the decisions you make,

No matter what, I'm always right there behind you [Repeat x2]
I will always be there to support and care for you, no matter what happens.

Bombarded by the atmosphere
The world around you is constantly putting pressure on you, making it hard to think or breathe at times.

You breath, you choke, you breath again
You struggle to catch your breath, and sometimes feel like you're drowning, but you keep fighting and trying to breathe again.

Conversation disappears
You find it hard to connect with others or have meaningful conversations, leaving you feeling isolated and alone.

You realize they're not your friends
You come to the difficult realization that some people you believed were friends are not actually there for you or looking out for your best interests.

The panic of the future rears
The uncertainty and fear of what lies ahead begins to creep in, making it hard to focus on the present.

You dig, you jerk
You dig deep and work hard, trying to stay afloat and push through the difficulties.

You find another way
Through perseverance and hard work, you find a way to overcome your struggles and succeed.

You open up my veins now I don't feel the same
You have such an impact on my life that you change me in a profound and undeniable way.

You open up my brain but I won't be replaced
Even though you have changed me in incredible ways, I will never completely lose my sense of self and identity.
