Someone To Be Around

Mm-mm

I've spent my last ounce of hope
I've got nothing to show for a while now
But if you throw me a rope
I might be able to cope with the down and out
Wish I could float, the water's up to my throat
But the calls to my friends they are drowning out
Last time we spoke I said I needed you most
I just need someone to be around

Oh, someone to be around
Oh, someone to be around, yeah

When my legs start to shiver
My soul starts to quiver
I think of the last time you spoke to me
You said everything has a meaning
Oh, everything happens for a reason
But when someone's alone the words aren't that strong
And I just long for someone to be around

Whoa-whoa, for someone to be around
Whoa-whoa yeah, for someone to be around
Whoa-whoa, for someone to be around
Whoa-whoa yeah (someone to be around)
Yeah

Ooh, oh-oh-oh, ooh
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

See my head is all clouded
From thinking about it
I'm trying to find my peace of mind
But there's no way around it
And you just compound it
By saying that I'm just a waste of time
Maybe I know this
But choose not to show it
I hope I am able to work it out
For now I will struggle with all of my troubles
'Cause I need someone to be around

Whoa, someone to be around
Whoa, someone to be around
Whoa, someone to be around
Whoa-whoa, someone to be around
Whoa-whoa, someone to be around
Whoa, someone to be around
Oh, someone to be around (oh, yeah)
Whoa, someone to be around, yeah-yeah

Mm-mm
