I'll always need a friend
One I can defend
All I've got to give
Is do you want to live
With me every day till I pass away
I've been sitting here
Frightened stiff with fear
Love has brought it on
And it must go on
Being here with you
Taking what is mine
Just between the lines
And here we are, here we are
All alone for me to take

And here you are, here you are
All alone for me to take
Fell in love today
Little words to say
Let us close the door
That's what doors are for
Being here with you
Taking what is mine
Just between the lines
I'll always need a friend
One I can defend
All I've got to give
Is do you want to live
Being here with you
Taking what is mine
Just between the lines

Air Supply are a soft rock duo formed in 1975. From 1980-1985 the band had a string of hits that charted well in the US, Canada, New Zealand and their homeland Australia.

After Graham Russell’s music was ignored by bandmates in two previous bands, he auditioned for and won a part as a chorus member in a Melbourne production of Jesus Christ Superstar. This is where he met and teamed up with Russell Hitchcock, who had missed the JCS auditions in Sydney – so he flew to Melbourne and landed a spot in the same chorus.

The two submitted a demo of two songs – “Love And Other Bruises” and “If You Knew Me” to CBS Records and got signed. The former went to #3 in Australia, so they assembled session musicians, released their self-titled debut album, and toured Australia.
