Music | Kris Allen's new song Whenever You Are Here

Our third new song of the tour! Kris premiered this one, which we'll call Whenever You Are Here in Portland. It was inspired by the movie Coco. A fan in Denver gave us a fantastic video from which we can figure out the lyrics (thanks, Christi)! Kathy (@kheilig) has taken a shot at them, but she advises some of the lines might need a little crowd-sourcing, so please weigh in with your thoughts on the lyrics. (Updated: Thanks to @AuntyCJ, @shoshpd and Christi, we updated some lyrics.)



(Whenever You Are Here)

What if I’m always late to the party?
What if I never sing like McCartney
Just a couple of my fears
But they seem to disappear
Ohhhh, Whenever you are here.

What if the mirror is a liar?
And what if my future doesn’t look brighter?
Just a couple of my fears
But they seem to disappear
Ohhhh Whenever you are here.

Baby don’t you go because you don’t know what it’s like
Whenever you’re away all of these thoughts run through my mind
And I’m not proud to say I’m not alright, I’m not alright, noooo

What if I take a bite from the fruit tree?
Why does the devil never feel sorry?
Just a couple of my fears
But they seem to disappear
Ohhhh Whenever you are here.
Ohh woahhh

Baby don’t you go because you don’t know what it’s like
Whenever you’re away all of these thoughts run through my mind
And I’m not proud to say I’m not alright, I’m not alright, I’m not alright, nooooooo

What if I’m always late to the party?
What if I never sing like (probably same word as first verse)?
Just a couple of my fears
But they seem to disappear ohhh
Whenever you are here.
Whenever you are here
Whenever you are here
Whenever you are here.
