Giles Standing In The Way Lyrics

Standing In The Way 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
