Jeremy Condon - Not Always There (Acoustic)
Music & Lyrics by: Jeremy Condon I'm going out of my way, to get to you/ take it easy on me now, it's all fairly new/ and it's been a long time, you might even say/ I'm not ready for this when all of the changes they just keep coming, a little faster than I am running/ so go real, real slow/ there's just so much you need to know Sometimes I break down for no reason at all/ and I worry too much about things I can't control/ you said you know what you want and it's all that I am/ but are you willing to be here when I'm not always there Too many times I've been left in the cold/ knocking on doors when there's nobody home/ then here you come, open up and let me in/ you fill me up warm with love I can't resist it even if I tried to/ and I want to stay here right beside you, but I'm scared, I'm stone, I just think its's best I go home Sometimes I break down for no reason at all/ and I worry too much about things I can't control/ you said you know what you want and it's all that I am/ but are you willing to be here when I'm not always there Oh unfortunately I, I've gotten real good here lately at saying good-bye/ but you swear that your strong enough/ when I'm a bit too much you keep holding, and holding on Even when I break down for no reason at all/ and I worry too much about things I can't control/ you said you know what you want, and it's all that I am/ and you're willing to be here when I'm not always there/ cos I'm not always, not always, not always, not always there.
