When I'm not around 
A given chance to really be what you are 
Will see you last 
Or turn to dust 

When I'm not around 
Think of the ones who have loved you the most 
Stand up for their pride 
Breathe in their sweet life 

And when you've gone 
Further away 
I will be calling to you 
Send you a line 

With all I can say 
So you'll remember me too 
And help me believe 
That we're always safe 
And perfectly sound 
Anytime 
I'm not around 

Injury's dark 
Break into the stride 
These steps have been tried 

Send someone to shed 
All the unwanted 
All the unwanted 

And when you've gone 
Further away 
I will be calling to you 
Send you a line 

With all I can say 
So you'll remember me too 
And help me believe 
That we're always safe 
And perfectly sound 
Anytime 
I'm not around 

If you've got secrets to hide 
Feel the truth would be unkind 
I love you anyway
