[Verse] The old porch swing don’t creak the same, Since you took off like a runaway train, The nights here cut cold and hard, Underneath these Tennessee stars. [Verse 2] Your scent still lingers in our room, Like a wildflower trying to bloom, Coffee's turned stale in your favorite mug, This empty house don’t feel like love. [Chorus] When you ain’t here, the world don’t spin, The daylight fades, the dark slips in, I’m missing you by the light of the moon, The silence is a haunting tune, When you ain’t here, when you ain’t here. [Verse 3] The record player’s skipping tracks, And every song just takes me back, To mornings laughing ‘cross the kitchen table, Now it’s echoing like a worn-out fable. [Verse 4] The screen door’s banging in the wind, Like it's trying to let your ghost back in, The fields lie fallow without your care, Your absence is a weight I can’t bear. [Chorus] When you ain’t here, the world don’t spin, The daylight fades, the dark slips in, I’m missing you by the light of the moon, The silence is a haunting tune, When you ain’t here, when you ain’t here.
