When you can't find your way home
I'll be around
I'll be around a while
And everyone you know has let you down
I'll be around
I'll be around a while
When the night twists up just a snake
I'll be around
I'll be around a while
And your eyes are closed but your mind's awake
I'll be around
I'll be around a while

Come on, baby, why don't you come over?
I'll protect with my heart
And if you wanted to cry on my shoulder
I'll hold you here in my arms

When it seems like all is lost
I'll be around
I'll be around a while
And you can't get yourself up off the cross
I'll be around
I'll be around a while
And for all of your work, not much to show
I'll be around
I'll be around a while
And you've been everywhere so now there's nowhere to go
I'll be around
I'll be around a while

Come on, baby, why don't you come over?
I'll protect with my heart
(I'll protect you with my heart, yeah)
And if you want to cry on my shoulder
(If you wanna cry, cry, cry)
I'll hold you here in my arms
(Hold you in my arms)

(Oh-oh, yeah, yeah)

When trouble comes and you're afraid
I'll be around
I'll be around a while
When the double-cross has you double-faced
I'll be around
I'll be around a while

(I'll be around
I'll be around a while
I'll be around
I'll be around a while)
