[Verse] The clock ticks slow the air feels thin I hear your laugh like a ghost within Shadows dance where your light should stay The night turns cold when you’re away [Chorus] When you're not around the world stands still The echoes fade but they never fill The space you leave it's a hollow sound My heart beats loud when you’re not around [Verse 2] The moon looks lost behind the haze The stars don't shine in their usual ways Your absence bends the shape of time Each second aches like a climbing climb [Chorus] When you're not around the world stands still The echoes fade but they never fill The space you leave it's a hollow sound My heart beats loud when you’re not around [Bridge] I tried to breathe but the air won't stay I tried to speak but the words decay Your name’s a song that my soul still sings A broken chord with missing strings [Chorus] When you're not around the world stands still The echoes fade but they never fill The space you leave it's a hollow sound My heart beats loud when you’re not around
