Beside Myself

If I am beside myself

Then I am two

I don’t know why it is

I don’t know who

Who is beside me

And why are they sad

Who is this person

They are quite mad

Get behind me Satan

I don’t want you near

No tortured soul

Can loiter here

If I am beside myself

I want it all good

The person will be kind

And does what it should

Who is this being

Please go away

Unless you can hug me

I don’t want you to stay

Unless you can comfort

Unless you can smile

I need you to go

And run for a while

If I’m beside myself

I need them to love

No war is allowed here

Just the peace of a dove

So if you are twin

And you won’t go away

I have to accept

All of yesterday

I’ll make amends

Who is this that dares

You won’t go away

So I need you to care

I need you to merge

You can’t be beside me

You’re freaking me out

I need you to leave me

I won’t be beside myself

There’s no room anymore

There’s only space

For one on this floor

Time to melt into one

I got you sussed

This town ain’t big enough

For the both of us.
