Lyrics Oleander
Are You There?
I never fear to far away
From Where I want to be
There’s nothing Left For me (Yeah)
And when I fear to close to Breath
Like A Baby Cutting Teeth
And You are far away
(Ahhh a ) Twice
Cause when its more than I can take
I pushed and Pulled to Break
A sucker for a saint
In Your Eyes
Critosism comes and waits
Numbering your days
That only you can Save me
Is anybody even there?
Doesn’t just pretend to care
This time I need to know
Are You There?
Does anybody think they care?
Begin to even understand
This time I need to know
Are You There?
(Pause)
Hang on Hang on
I know I love
Its the lie that we believe
A truth that we conceive
That Lies inside of me (yeah)
When I leave it all behind
Something hypnotized
The moment that its mine
Is anybody even there?
Doesn’t just pretend to care
This time I need to know
Are You There?
Does anybody think they care?
Begin to even understand
This time I need to know
Are You
(Ahhhhhhhh aaaaaaa hhhhhh aaaaa)
Is anybody even there?
Doesn’t just pretend to care
This time I need to know
Are You There?
Does anybody think they care?
Begin to even understand
This time I need to know
Are You There?
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official OLEANDER tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
