I am Behind You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My favorite pastime
Is wondering if you're still alive
And greeting new people
Who come and go in my life
While I'm walking around
Freaking out about my body
I list all of the people I think
That I think
Still love me

[Pre-Chorus 1]
If I'm high up above me
Then am I really still me
I want to be
I want to be

Be somebody below me
Trying to reach up to me
I want to be
I want to be

[Chorus]
I am the real me
I am behind you
I will come find you
If you ever lose you
I am behind you

I just want you to see
I am behind you
I will come find you
If you ever lose you
I will come find you

[Verse 2]
I'm 100%
Almost all the time
But I am 65
When I think about how
You're only 5

I recognise that I'm proud
Of some thing
I have no right
I am not allowed
Without demeaning your fight

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Hey I just want to tell you
You're my friend and I love you
I'm trying to reach you
Before all the ghosts do

[Chorus]
I am the real me
I am behind you
I will come find you
If you ever lose you
I am behind you

I just want you to see
I am behind you
I will come find you
If you ever lose you
I will come find you

[Bridge]
Don't run away
Don't run away
Don't run away
Don't run away
Don't run away
Don't run away
Don't run away
[Final phase]
Minor inconvenience, that's okay
I'm well used to slow decay
Floss my teeth every night and day
Some bacteria you can't allay
Some things you can't allay
Gonna try to do it anyway
I'm not the type to run away

[Chorus]
I am the real me
I am behind you
I will come find you
If you ever lose you
I am behind you

I just want you to see
I am behind you
I will come find you
If you ever lose you
I am behind you

I am the real me
I am behind you
I will come find you
If you ever lose you
I am behind you

I just want you to see
I am behind you
I will come find you
If you ever lose you
I am behind you

I am the real me
I am behind you
I will come find you
If you ever lose you
I am behind you
I just want you to see
I am behind you
I am behind you
If you ever need somebody beside you

The Debt

[Verse #1]
I've always believed in choice
Turned 16, it changed my voice
Opened up to everyone
But myself, I am numb

[Verse #2]
I'm afraid I will end up
With a family I don't love
What if I don't know myself
Well enough to avoid hell

[Pre-Chorus #1]
How f***** up can you get?
Hurt everyone who ever put you in their debt

[Chorus]
And the debt's an apology (apology)
An apology to yourself (to yourself)
For being so naive as to think
That you could never work on yourself (on yourself)
You give love
You give love (you give love)
You give love
You give love (you give love)
You give love
You give love

[Verse #3}
Do I think I will survive
With weightless arms and a
Reckless mind?
Here's some love, here's some time
Here's me jerking off my mind

[Pre-Chorus #2]
How f***** up can you get
Hurt everyone who ever cleaned you when you bled

[Chorus]
And the debt's an apology
An apology to yourself
For being so naive as to think
That you could never work on yourself
You give love
You give love
You give love
You give love
You give love
You give love
