I'm There - 1/23/10

Ever have something you want to say, but can't make out the words? Well, that's what this is all about. I think that's about all I need to say. It wasn't written for any project or any show, it's just something selfish, for me right now. It's written as a patter song, lighthearted but a little awkward, which pretty much sums me up.

[f]
As long as I've known you, I've been there
[a]
You can't find it on a map but I've seen it more than twice
Maybe thrice? What I'm trying to say is, it's been nice.
Some advice? What to say, though you're never in my way
You're the forefront of my thoughts and in my head.
Though I can't quite decide, do I say it or override
to retreat back to vague references instead?
[b]
I'm there, I'm there, don't you see me standing bare
Why can't you read my thoughts? I'm right there.
I'm there, I'm there, though I'm not standing right beside you.
It's a metaphor, or is it analogy? I'm there.
[a]
Don't you get it? Can't you see? Y'know, I've really got to pee.
This doesn't help the situation, thought you should know.
Please don't leave, don't pass by, I can do this if I try.
There's always been one place I'm always scared to go
[b]
but I'm there, I'm there. Just something I ought to share.
If it were currency, you'd be my millionaire.
I'm there! I'm there! I thought you'd understand by now,
You make me feel like dancing tap like Fred Astaire.
[c]
Don't you remember the hour we spent lying awake together
I told you then.
I haven't been to this place with anyone since I can't remember when.
If the journey brought me here then you're my destination.
I just needed you to help me out with the navigation.
[b]
So I'm there, I'm there. I can even feel it in my hair!
And a little bit even in my underwear...
I'm not scared. Not scared! I love you, that's a promise
[f]
Even though I'm always moving I've always been there.
