Twiddle - Be There lyrics

Cruising my way uptown On the west side Watching all the chitter chatter pa** me by I see the energy pa** in the streets Yeah I know that it's free, yeah I want that relief I see a cardboard sign and some very old hands and some very cold hands Watching everybody pa** him by, why so cool all the time, where's the love in this life? Yeah I know that things aren't getting better I'm just waiting for a change in the weather And when your lights start shining down You know I'll be there when it goes And when the ground starts burning out I'll pick you right up out the cold Because in daylight when the sun starts burning out of grey skies You know my love will fill in that hole And when you hear my final cry Well I'll always be there in your soul I'll always be there in your soul Driving by an old man sitting on a bench Wondering where his kids went wondering why they left Mama died years ago, papa was a mess So they left him in a home, all alone all repressed Every night he'd check the phones, “no messages” they'd say No visitors, no phone calls, everybody's gone away Sitting on this bench with his memories on rewind Why so cool all the time, where's the love in this life? Yeah I know that things aren't getting better I'm just waiting for a change in the weather And when your lights start shining down You know I'll be there when it goes And when the ground starts burning out I'll pick you right up out the cold Because in daylight when the sun starts burning out of grey skies You know my love will fill in that hole And when you hear my final cry Well I'll always be there in your soul I'll always be there in your soul Driving by my high school back to the start Watching little Billy getting bullied in the yard By two older boys with ignorance in their heart Never kissed a girl, no sports, no car Smaller than the other kids, not a lot of friends Didn't have money, uncle Billy paid the rent Cried himself to sleep almost every single night Why so cool all the time, where's the love in this life? Yeah I know that things aren't getting better I'm just waiting for a change in the weather And when your lights start shining down You know I'll be there when it goes And when the ground starts burning out I'll pick you right up out the cold Because in daylight when the sun starts burning out of grey skies You know my love will fill in that hole And when you hear my final cry Well I'll always be there in your soul I'll always be there in your soul Cruising my way uptown On the west side Watching all the chitter chatter pa** me by I see the energy pa** in the streets Yeah I know that it's free, yeah I want that relief
