[Verse 1] I keep your chat on glow Like a tiny little flame Your last message on my screen Still says my name Babe, I’m fine, I say But that’s a pretty lie Got your picture in my head And tears behind my eyes [Pre-Chorus] Texts don’t kiss me back They don’t hold me tight They can’t reach across And make this feel alright I can read your words In the blue-white light But I still miss the world Behind your eyes [Chorus] You’re on the other side On the other side Texts don’t replace you No, they don’t replace you I miss your face I miss your smile I miss your voice When you say my name [Verse 2] I replay your accent On the drive back home The way you stretch one word And make it your own Even your silence Feels like a song Now my room is too quiet When you’re gone too long [Pre-Chorus] Texts don’t kiss me back They don’t hold me tight They can’t reach across And make this feel alright I can read your words In the blue-white light But I still miss the world Behind your eyes [Chorus] You’re on the other side On the other side Texts don’t replace you No, they don’t replace you I miss your face I miss your smile I miss your voice When you say my name [Bridge] If I close my eyes I can almost hear That soft little laugh Pull me near But I open up And there you are Just a little ache Behind a screen and stars [Final Chorus] You’re on the other side On the other side Texts don’t replace you No, they don’t replace you I miss your face I miss your smile I miss your voice When you say my name You’re on the other side On the other side Babe, that’s what gets me Babe, that’s what gets me I miss your face I miss your smile I miss your voice When you say my name
