lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the worst way I don't know what to say to you
This is the first time I feel the distance
It's your birthday and all I really wanna do
Is feel ok not knowing your business

[Pre-Chorus]
Is feel ok just feeling the silence
Not obsessing over the timing
Knowing good things blow with the right wind
Getting used to space when the night ends

[Chorus]
But it all makes me wish that you were still here
I'm holding your seat, cuz maybe you'll be right back
I don't know if I'm awake but baby I think I'm waking
Taking the weight off the waiting
Taking a break without breaking

[Verse 2]
From the first day, I must've known it
When I called back home and they said
"You sound like someone new"
And now I can't relax, ain't got no way of slowing
And it looks like death and I don't think I am over you

[Pre-Chorus]
It's all in the way I'm talking to the people that we both know
When they ask what you're up to, I tense up
Cuz you'd never let me know
But I hope deep in the silence, you are finally finding
Something within that place that here could never be

[Chorus]
But it all makes me wish that you were still here
I'm holding your seat, cuz maybe you'll be right back
I don't know if I'm awake but baby I think I'm waking
Taking the weight off the waiting
Taking a break without breaking
