"Standing With You" lyrics

"Standing With You"

The more I tell you you can do this
The more you tell yourself you're useless
Any advice right now is fruitless
You're somewhere only you can go
I won't pretend to know, so

Instead of telling you, "You'll be alright"
I'm just gon' be that someone by your side
Yeah, let me be that distant satellite
A constant in the sky

'Cause I'm standing with you tonight
Yeah, I will be that voice in your ear
Quietly destroying your fear
You won't even know that I'm here
But I'm standing with you tonight
Oh, I will be the pill for your pain
Until the clouds have run out of rain
Close enough but just out of sight
I'm standing with you tonight

Your head is full and yet it's hollow
Don't even think about tomorrow
So if you let me, I will follow
Oh, if you're gonna go
At least you're gonna know, oh

Instead of telling you, "You'll be alright"
I'm just gon' be that someone by your side
Oh, let me be that distant satellite
A constant in the sky

I'm standing with you tonight
Yeah, I will be that voice in your ear
Quietly destroying your fear
You won't even know that I'm here
But I'm standing with you tonight
Oh, I will be the pill for your pain
Until the clouds have run out of rain
Close enough but just out of sight
I'm standing with you

I know I may not say the right thing
Let me tell you one thing
Yeah, 'cause there is one thing
You're wrong about
This world would not be a better place
I don't wanna lose you now

Yeah, I will be that voice in your ear
Quietly destroying your fear
You won't even know that I'm here
I'm standing with you tonight
Oh, I will be the pill for your pain
Until the clouds have run out of rain
Close enough but just out of sight
I'm standing with you tonight

Oh, tonight
I'm standing with you tonight
I'm standing with you tonight

"Standing With You" was made available through Sony Music Entertainment Australia on the 26th of June 2020.
Guy Sebastian co-wrote this song with Jamie Hartman of which he told, "We've written quite a few tunes together, Jamie and myself. So it's proving to be a good partnership.""
Describing "Standing With You", Guy Sebastian revealed, "It's about the power of just being there. Sometimes as a friend or as a support to people who go through things – it's not about having the right anecdotes or answers; it's really more about just being that silent presence. Especially at a time like this when there's a lot of people who are feeling isolated, this song is a reminder to look out for people who feel alone."
