Lyrics Don't Be There - Switchfoot

Don't Be There

Don’t be there
'Cause I’m on my way
And I’m already gone over
And I’m on my way
And I can’t recall myself
How I went down
Did I get shot
Or shoot myself
I’m down here
And you’re way up there
But that doesn’t hurt badly
But it stings right here
And I won’t pretend there’s
Nothing there
You be around and I’ll be square
Don’t be alarmed if I’m not there
You be around and I’ll be square
If you’re a rose
Then I’m the thorn
That’s in your side
And does it hurt badly
'Cause it burns right here
I’d like to say hello
I’d like to say I care
I’d like to let you know
That nothing here’s the same with me Nothing here’s the same
Don’t be around
Don’t be there
