"I'm Here, I'm Not Here"
Julia Stone


Living in this room, but I don't really want to.
Living in this home, but I don't really want to.
Live inside a dream, but we're all on the same team.
We would all agree there's things we don't know.

Put me in a corner and I won't make a sound.
After you both lose your heads, I'll be what you found.
While you fight it out, I'll be quiet like a clown.
I'll build my world around the things I don't know.

I'm here, I'm not here.
There's nothing that I know for sure.
You're here, you're not here.
How long can this all go on for?
Oh, I don't know.

Wrap me up in blankets and push me down the stairs.
Leave me in the burning house and tell me how much you care.
I live inside a world, where words won't carry hurt
And I will try to learn the things I don't know.

I'm here, I'm not here.
There's nothing that I know for sure.
You're here, you're not here.
How long can this all go on for?

Live inside a dream, but we're all on the same team.
We will all agree there's things we don't know.
Live inside a dream, but we're all trying to reach
We're all trying to see those things we don't know.

I'm here, I'm not here.
There's nothing that I know for sure.
You're here, you're not here.
How long can this all go on for?

I'm here, I'm not here.
There's nothing that I know for sure.
You're here, you're not here.
How long can this all go on for?

Oh, I don't know.

  1. I'm not a fan of her voice (it totally doesn't seem to match her at all! Weird.) or the way she pronounces her words, but the lyrics are especially poignant.

    1. Yeah, her voice isn't for everyone. I always imagined her looking like she was from Sweden with super pale hair. :) The words are intense though.
