The Neighbor

Don't let them tell you what it's all about

I'm right beside you, a dreamer you can do without

I know you well, but we've never met

Always the same, always the safe bet

I know what's happening, I've seen it before

Uninvited, I'll be coming to your back door

Lock all your windows, hide under your bed

I hear you breathing, I know you're there

You can turn off the light

You can turn off your mind

You can shut me out

But I'll still be here

I'll still be here

You can turn me off, try to shut me down

But I'll still be here

You want to see things all the same

Why don't you see things in color for a change?

I'm waiting and listening, trying to walk in your shoes

They walk a straight line, such a straight line

I'll drop my fences, if you drop your guard

Meet me on the front porch, stop hiding in your backyard

Unlock your windows, come out from the bed

Your TVs glowing, I know you're there

You can turn it around

Till you like how it sounds

You can turn me off

But I'll still be here

I'll still be here

You can turn me down but I'll just shout it out

I'll still be here

Who did away with empathy?

How do you love without sympathy?

And who's gonna be the one to speak for me?

I'll still be here
