Someone to Be Around

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

I wish I could float, the water's up to my throat

But the calls to my friends, they're drowning out

Last time we spoke I said I needed you most

I just need someone to be around

Whoa someone to be around

Whoa someone to be around

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

So my head is all clouded

From thinking about it

I'm trying to find my piece of mind

But there's no way around it

And you just compound it

By saying that I'm just a waste of time

See maybe I know it, but choose not show it

I hope I am able to work it out

But for now I will struggle with all of my troubles

And I need someone to be around

Whoa someone to be around

Whoa someone to be around

Whoa whoa someone to be around

Yeah

Whoa someone to be around

Whoa someone to be around

Whoa someone to be around

Whoa someone to be around

Whoa someone to be around

Oh yeah
