Don't Be There — Switchfoot

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
