Lyrics
(v) i'm always calling your name
don't walk around me
don't walk around
i'm erased when you're away
don't walk around me
don't walk around
(c) i'd know your face in the most crowded place
anywhere
(v) i'm alright that i will die
just don't walk around me
don't walk around
you and i will make each other cry
but don't walk around me
don't walk around
(c) i see your grace in the darkest space of my life
if it's allayed, i can't make it again
i don't know why
(br) i been holding this inside
i got something that bears asking
will you take me round your room
(v) i'm always dreaming the same
don't walk around me
don't walk around
don't walk around
don't walk around
