Where I Am

He said I get a dollar a day to watch all the cars

Of the rich come down for the beach and the bars

Their distracted faces always looking away

But I'm OK I just watch the sea

The rise and fall like it's inside of me

And no two days the same

I am where I am, I'm not so hard to find

I do what I can with what they leave behind

I'm with who I'm with, I speak with who is near

Come back, I am here

Into all the empty spaces leer a hundred thousand faces

Scream a hundred million voices if you let them come

But I just feel the breath of wind that dries the sweat upon my skin

Slowly breathing out and breathing in

And I am where I am, I'm not so hard to find

I do what I can with what they leave behind

I'm with who I'm with, I speak with who is near

Come back, I am here

And everybody wants to be somewhere else

Everybody wants to be someone else

It seems like everybody wants to be someone else

Everybody wants to be somewhere else

The wind blows the water, patterns racing across the bay

And the sand slides through your fingers and it's all made from the same

For what you touch well that's what makes you, is there beside you always

There are people that I'll never know

From places still I'll never go

They play their dramas out from scene to scene

But the insects crawl through the blades of grass

The summer storms they slowly pass

The colours change in the arcing of the sun

And I am where I am, I'm not so hard to find

I do what I can with what they leave behind

I'm with who I'm with, I speak with who is near

Come back, I am here
