OLEANDER LYRICS - Are You There?

"Are You There?"



When I feel too far away

From where I want to be

There's nothing left for me, yeah

When I feel too close to breathe

Like a baby cutting teeth

In you I find relief



'Cause when it's more than I can take

I pushed and pulled to break

A sucker for a saint in your eyes

Criticism comes in waves

Numbering our days

But only you can save me



Is anybody even there

who doesn't just pretend to care

This time I need to know - are you there?

Does anybody think they can

Begin to even understand

This time I need to know - are you there?



Hang on, hang on

I know, I know



It's the lie that we believe

A truth that we conceive

That lies inside of me

When I leave it all behind

Something hypnotized

The moment that it's mine



Is anybody even there

Who doesn't just pretend to care

This time I need to know - are you there?

Does anybody think they can

Begin to even understand

this time I need to know - are you there?



Is anybody even there?

Who doesn't just pretend to care

This time I need to know - are you there?

Does anybody think they can

Begin to even understand

This time I need to know - are you there?
