You're Never Really Here (Are You Baby) Lyrics

You're never really here. Are you, baby?
The silence keeps me guessing for so long
You answer with the slowness of a mountain
Trapped in my arms
Ah

You never really know just what I'm saying
It's hard to tell a joke without a laugh
I never really know just how you'll take it
Maybe too hard
Ah

I've tried a million times to tell you, know that if I could
I'd chase away the loneliness around you

You never really care. Do you, baby?
If people think we take it much too far
When everybody treats us like we're crazy
Well, maybe they are
Ah

I've died a million times beside you, laughing till I cried
I never knew my luck until I found you

You're never really here
Never really here
Never really here
Never really here

I've tried a million times to get the air inside my lungs
The sacrifice of love, it will astound you

You're never really here
Never really here
Never really here
Never really here
