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 and 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 tv's glowing, I know you're there You can turn it around Til 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 will be the one that still believes It's the powerless who seem to fall Between the cracks of those who have it all And who's gonna be the one to speak for me I'll still be here I'll still be here (repeats with Martie and Emily harmonies) I'll still be here When you like it or not Oh I'll be here (repeats with Martie and Emily harmonies) Even when you're not When you think I forgot Come out in your backyard Monday Let's meet on your front porch Friday I'll still be here (repeats to fade out)
