Jim Martin: LISTEN!

When You're Around (I'm on a High)

-J. Martin-
Sure and unafraid
You've taken steps
I haven't made
While you're on the road
Plans are put on hold
And countless debts are never paid

Far or even near
All common sense
Just disappears
When you're on the run
Things are never fun
So I'm ecstatic when you're here

I miss you so bad
Baby I'm crying
When you're away I wanna die
Oh love is just that simple
My darling
When you're around I'm on a high

How long will it take
Before we solve
What is at stake?
As the story goes
And comes to a close
We'll grow apart or catch a break

I miss you so bad
Baby I'm crying
When you're away I wanna die
Oh love is just that simple
My darling
When you're around I'm on a high

When you are gone I hit a wall
When you're away I just wanna die
Caught between worlds that never stall
When you're around I'm on a high,
When you're around I'm on a high,
When you're around I'm on a high,
When you're around I'm on a high

2x
I miss you so bad
Baby I'm crying
When you're away I wanna die
Oh love is just that simple
My darling
When you're around I'm on a high.
