Just Around the Corner

Things aren't quite as they seem inside my domain
You can't know 'bout everything, only pleasure and pain
You wonder why I come here with head to my hands
Where else can I be cured?

And the king of your mansion
A thorn in your side
And a child to protect
That claims he's free

Just around the corner, half a mile to heaven
Strong enough to hold you
Starved for some affection
Darling, come quickly, come ease my mind
For my prayers have not been answered in a long time

I've already made my bed, like it or not
As long as there's no regrets
I'll be here when the ride stops
These comforts to me and these crosses to bear
With which we live

Just around the corner, half a mile to heaven
Strong enough to hold you
Starved for some affection
Baby, I can't drag you into this mess

I'm the thorn in your side, and the child to protect, yes

And I'm just around the corner, half a mile to heaven
Oh, Strong enough to hold you
Starved for some affection
Darling, come quickly, come ease my worried mind
For my prayers have not been answered in a long time

And I'm just around the corner
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yes, I'm strong enough to hold you, yes I am
Half a mile to heaven, yes
Just around the corner
