Giles - Standing In The Way lyrics

rate me

You're not ready

For the world outside

You keep pretending,

But you just can't hide

I know I said that I'd

Be standing by your side

But I

Your path's unbeaten,

And it's all uphill

And you can meet it,

But you never will

And I'm the reason that you're standing still

But I

I wish I could say

The right words

To lead you through this land

Wish I could play the father

And take you by the hand

Wish I could stay here

But now I understand

I'm standing in the way

The cries around you,

You don't hear at all

'Cause you know I'm here

To take that call

So you just lie there when

You should be standing tall

But I

I wish I could

Lay your arms down

And let you rest at last

Wish I could

Slay your demons

But now that time has passed

Wish I could stay here

Your stalwart, standing fast

But I'm

Standing in the way

I'm just standing

In the way
