Lyric

When You're Not Here

MASAQUI

(Soft humming)

(Hmmm hmmm hmmm...)

Wake up with the light, another normal day

Coffee in my cup, then I’m on my way

Laugh with my friends about nothing at all

Try to forget how far I’ve let myself fall

But I wonder what you're doing now

Are you cooking while the TV’s loud?

Maybe typing words on your screen

Talking business in some daily routine

And still, the world keeps turning clear

But it's so quiet when you're not here

Fold the laundry, wipe the floor

Step outside, then close the door

Dinner out, or gym at eight

Smiles and drinks, but I still wait

Every time my phone lights up

I hope it's you, I can't give up

A little buzz, my heart will race

But it’s just another name, another face

So I wonder what you're doing now

Are you on a call or out downtown?

Maybe sipping tea with a sigh

While your thoughts drift like mine to the sky

And still, the world keeps spinning clear

But it's so boring when you're not here

And I know your days go on like mine

Parallel lines in separate time

I smile and live, I play my part

But you're the missing piece of heart

Still I wonder what you're doing now

Are you laughing or wearing a frown?

Maybe lost in a photo’s glow

Of something we both used to know

And yes, the world moves on, sincere

But it’s less vivid when you're not here

(Hmmm hmmm...)

But it's so quiet

When you're not here
