You're across the midway with someone who’s not me, Your hand brushing theirs like that’s where it should be. [Chorus] I'm standing here, but not with you. The space between us feels too true. In this crowd, I fade from view. I'm standing here, but not with you. [Verse 2] Jane from church walks over, says she saw us both, Then sees my face and swallows what she knows. You glance my way, then turn when they call your name, And I hate how I waited for you to explain. [Chorus] I'm standing here, but not with you. The space between us feels too true. In this crowd, I fade from view. I'm standing here, but not with you. [Bridge] Midnight comes too soon, the fair shuts down, The lights go dead on the edge of town. Tomorrow morning, we both move on, But tonight I’m still here, watching you gone. [Final Chorus] I'm standing here, but not with you. The space between us feels too true. In this crowd, I fade from view. I'm standing here, but not with you. I'm standing here, but not with you. [end]
