The Presence of Other - Howard Jones

This time, it s different

Be sure, I mean it

Can t go on trading on ideas that I just don t own

A life with some meaning, a life with some sense

I want, to blame you

Give you, my power

I keep it all on the inside, keep it locked in the dark

I keep it all on the inside, keep it locked in the dark

People telling me it s not my responsibility

But it is my problem and it s my life, my life

I must believe the solutions, to the problems, are in my hands

Feel the presence of other

Love the resistance it presents

Different from and outside of me

Pushing me to find what is self

Slow down, just talk

Sit down, right here

Must be an answer to the question of birth and death

A world with some meaning

A world with some peace

Inside, it s turbulent, outside, reflects it

Hear you knockin on the inside

Hear me breathe answer please

Hear you knockin on the inside

Hear you breathe answer me

People telling me what they think that I should be

Only thing that I can be is myself, myself

I must believe in my choices to create value out of everything

Feel the presence of other

Love the resistance it presents

Different from and outside of me

Pushing me to find what is self

Feel the presence of other

Love the resistance it offers

Different from and outside of me

Pushing me to find what is self

This time, it s different

I m sure I mean it

Slow down, just listen

It s my life, it s my life
