Lyrics I Just Want To Be Here - Eric Hirshberg

Well, this is your curse
All the things you love about me are the worst
Things for you
A wandering mind
That gets lost all the time
So your North never feels true
My imagination
Was your favorite station
But it came with such a cost
All my desolations
Came without explanation
So you sometimes felt lost

In love with a boomerang
It always comes back when it's angling to leave

But you always believed
You were able to see me
Long before I could
And you showed me the way
I believed you when you'd say
I could be that good
Now it's 20 years later
It keeps getting greater
And maybe a little easier too
When I'm touching down
I finally feel like the ground
Might not break through

In love with a boomerang
The arc of love is long but it bends back to you

After years of the wear and tear
Of chasing everything everywhere
You taught me to love what I feared
You taught me how to want to be here

I just want to be here
I just want to be here
After all of these years
I just want to be here
I just want to be here
I just want to be here

After years of the searching
And finding
And lurching
And mining
And grinding down all of these fears
I just want to be here
