When You're Gone - High Wire

Stepping out on a ledge

Meet me halfway

Let your guard, let it down, I won’t run away

When you’re gone everything seems a little bit off

I’ve got to know, even though I’ve never felt so unprepared

I don’t want to let this thing go

That’s fine, if you’re scared

I’d rather get carried away than never know

(I hate how I handle myself when you’re gone)

I hate how I handle myself when you’re gone

Can’t face that I’m getting older

Farewell to our friends that were there all along

Don’t carry the weight that you shoulder

Hear me out, hear me out

Listen closely

Without a doubt, out a doubt you’re the only one

I want, want to see more than anyone else

But you need time to think and forget how you felt before

Now every new thought complicates what I said was more

Than what you expected because I was never sure

I hate how I handle myself when you’re gone

Can’t face that I’m getting older

Farewell to our friends that were there all along

Don’t carry the weight that you shoulder

Close my eyes so I can see again, see again

I don’t know why, why I can breathe again, breathe again

Close my eyes so I can see again, see again

I don’t know why, why I can breathe again, breathe again

I hate how I handle myself when you’re gone

Can’t face that I’m getting older

Farewell to our friends that were there all along

Don’t carry the weight that you shoulder

I hate how I handle myself when you’re gone

(Close my eyes so I can see again, see again)

Can’t face that I’m getting older

(I don’t know why, why I can breathe again, breathe again)

Farewell to our friends that were there all along

(Close my eyes so I can see again, see again)

Don’t carry the weight that you shoulder

(I don’t know why, why I can breathe again, breathe again)

I hate how I handle myself when you’re gone

(Close my eyes so I can see again, see again)

Can’t face that I’m getting older

(I don’t know why, why I can breathe again, breathe again)

Farewell to our friends that were there all along

Don’t carry the weight that you shoulder
