Everywhere At Once

Do I give you a false sense of security?
A broken shield, what a pity
I wrote it down so you'll never forget
So when I'm not there, you can always read it

What if I was always around?
Would I still let you down?
What if I could be everywhere at once?

Every breath is like a twist in a knife in my side
Take me back, take me back
I'm begging, don't leave me here
It's a long way home, and I can't put to sea
When I leave, I leave all that matters to me

Marble eyes just like your mother
Without the demons that wrestle your father
I never wanted it to feel like I chose this over you
(Choose this over you)

Every breath is like a twist in a knife in my side
Take me back, take me back
I'm begging, don't leave me here
I can almost feel your hand, and I can't put to sea
When I leave, I leave all that matters to me

Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Measure in the same place at the same time

Every breath is like a twist in a knife in my side
Take me back, take me back
I'm begging, don't leave me here
I can almost feel your hands, but I can't put to sea
When I leave, I leave all that matters to me

Everything feels like a knife in my side
Nothing changes when I close my eyes
I just keep telling myself, just one more breath
It's a long way back, and I can't put to sea
When I leave, I leave all that matters to me

What if I was always around?
Would I still let you down?
What if I could be everywhere at once?
