[Verse 1: Emma Anderson]
If you walked in now
I wouldn't start I wouldn't frown
And if you just appeared
I wouldn't cry or think it weird
[Verse 2]
'Cause you are still around
You're in the air, you're in the ground
And you can't go away
I am afraid you're here to stay
[Verse 3]
Friends don't understand
They close the door, they raise their hands
She says she heard your voice
Of course she does, she has no choice
[Verse 4]
I was hours ahead
When they removed you from your bed
They drank all the while
Until you said goodbye
[Refrain]
Why are we sitting here in ourselves?
Why are we sitting here in ourselves?
Why are we sitting here in ourselves?
[Verse 5]
I don't look up, I don't look down
I look ahead and make no sound
My love was there
I only stare
[Verse 6]
Healthy in my dreams
Is what you are, is what is seems
What does it all mean?
You're only hiding behind a screen
[Verse 7]
Curse the English day
For what it forces us to say
Banish all the pain
'Cause when I die, die
I'll see you again
