[Verse 1] I hear the people in high places Are staring each other down Somewhere across the sea In the country next door And I thought, maybe that’s true Just a little, I did But when the morning comes I put a spoonful of honey On my table And at a price I can afford It gets me through another day Old wisdom has carried me And somehow I’m feeling lighter I always loved those stories from the past And cried at love movies On quiet nights [Pre-Chorus] Wait… The things I thought I couldn’t stand Somehow, little by little They’ve come so close to me [Chorus] Hey, wait a minute Without you around My everyday life gets harder somehow The honey, the old wisdom All those stories That made my heart tremble I have way too much To be thankful for To simply say, “I don’t like you” Is this just a matter of convenience? Or maybe… Is it something more? [Verse 2] On the news, voices collide Each side holding tight to what’s right Neither one willing to give an inch But in my everyday life You keep giving me Little moments of happiness When I really think about it Maybe the people far away Aren’t the ones who hurt me most Sometimes it’s the people Standing closest to me Who leave the deepest scars [Bridge] The more I think about it The more grown-up You seem to me Call it selfish Laugh if you want But what I feel Belongs to me [Last Chorus] Hey, my neighbor across the sea It’s not like I love everything about you There are things I’ll never understand Even so… You’ve helped me You’ve made me laugh You’ve made me cry There are just too many things I love about you To simply decide That I hate you So tonight I’ll put all the complicated things aside And just say One simple thing Thank you For being there Right next to me
