Why I Can't Be Beside You

from Blue Pop by Adam Daniel

/

lyrics

Come to work
Hold this ladder
And don't let it shake
Or I'll come tumbling
Lead me home
I've been dark inside
I've been everything and nothing
And I've really lost myself this time

Yeah, I fell all the way into this, man
Saw but couldn't do

And I've been faded white and weakened
And all estranged from you
And I've got no greater secret
That "If you only knew..."
Then why I can't be beside you

Wake me up
Or I'll sleep too late
I don't want to miss
All that I miss these days
And just come around
Say my name out loud
Yeah, so I remember what it is
'Cause there are days I don't

And I had all the very greatest plans
Drawn inside my head

And I've been faded white and weakened
And all estranged from you
And I've got no greater secret
That "If you only knew..."
Then why I can't be beside you

And I had all the very greatest plans
Drawn inside my head

And I've been faded white and weakened
And all estranged from you
And I've got no greater secret
That "If you only knew..."
Then why I can't be beside you

White and weakened
And all estranged from you
And I've got no greater secret

Why I can't be beside you
