[Verse 1]
Look at you with slimmer lines
And dirty toes un-showered
Unholy sight, the state of you
And every sign that you're wired again

[Verse 2]
Just look at you in the trolley line
Wild-eyed, you're still flying
A little less and a little more
In the middle ground, you're still miles away

[Chorus]
Hold me close, don't let me go
I need you so
Tell me something I don't know
That I need to know
(That never went away)
Hold those arms around my neck (That never went away)
That I need you so (That never went away)
(That never went away, that never went away)
Somewhere, sunk behind those eyes (That never went away)
A man I've always known (That never went away)
A man I've always known (That never went away)
A man I've always—
[Verse 3]
And if you go to sea again
We'll see it out to horizons
To see it all, it's a little late
And better never, but it's happening

[Chorus]
So hold me close, don't let me go
I need you so
Somewhere, sunk behind those eyes
A man I've always known
A man I've always known

[Bridge]
That never went away
That never went away
That never went away
That never went away

[Outro]
Hold me close, don't let me go
I need you
