Buffy The Vampire Slayer Standing lyrics

You're not ready for the world outside
You keep pretending but you just can't hide
I know I said that I'd be standing by your side
But I

Your path's unbeaten and it's all uphill
And you can meet it but you never will
And I'm the reason that you're standing still
But I

I wish I could say the right words to lead you through this land
Wish I could play the father and take you by the hand
Wish I could stay here but now I understand
I'm standing in the way


The cries around you, you don't hear at all
'Cause you know I'm here to take that call
So you just lie there when you should be standing tall
But I

I wish I could lay your arms down and let you rest at last
Wish I could slay your demons but now that time has passed
Wish I could stay here, your stalwart, standing fast
But I'm standing in the way, I'm just standing in the way
