"Here, Nearby" is the tenth track on the album Wake Me.
Background
On October 6, 1994, the very first day of working on Wake Me, the album's producer David Knauer recorded Grey Daze playing live in his studio to see what they had in store for their debut album. He recorded their performance straight to DAT tape and had Chester say the name of every song so it was documented on tape as well.[1] "Here, Nearby" was among the songs that made the album.
Under a new lineup consisting of Chester Bennington, Bobby Benish, Mace Beyers and Sean Dowdell, the band had their first pre-production sessions for their second studio album in February 1996 with David Knauer. There, they recorded a new version of "Here, Nearby". The album, however, was shelved due to lack of funds to finish the studio time.[2]

Lyrics
Melted candles on the window sill
Perfume in the haze
Ashtrays spread across the floor
On a normal day
We lay out across the bed
Just like we always did
And in this house
The devil laid his hand on our head
and made them spin
I want to be your man
If you think I cared
I want to be your man
Your man, lord
No more defenses
Like no more peace of mind
Keeping in these knives stabbing
Spilling out your blood to me
I want to be your man
If you think I cared
I want to be your man
Your man, lord
Yeah
I want to be your man
If you think I cared
I want to be your man
Your man, lord
Melted candles on the window sill
Perfume in the haze
Ashtrays spread across the floor
On a normal day
Hey
No more defenses
Like no more peace of mind
And in this house
The devil laid his hand on our head
And made them spin
I want to be your man
If you think I cared
I want to be your man
Your man, lord
We lay out across the bed
Just like we always did
Keeping in these knives stabbing
Spilling out your blood to me
Yeah
I want to be your man
If you think I cared
I want to be your man
Your man, lord
Ohh, yeah!
I want to be your man
If you think I cared
I want to be your man
Your man, lord
I want to be your man
If you think I cared
I want to be your man
Your man, lord
