When You're Not Around

[Verse] Lights flash in the empty night Lonely streets no sound in sight Heart's a drum lost in the beat Echoes linger in concrete [Verse 2] City's buzz but it's not the same Without you here it feels so tame Neon signs they flicker wide But my heart just can't decide [Chorus] When you're not around Silence is loud World turns upside down When you're not around [Verse 3] Shadows play on my bedroom wall In your absence I feel so small Dancing lights can't fill the space Where you stood there's just a trace [Bridge] Synths scream out your name Nothing feels the same Digital dream in blue and grey Waiting for a brighter day [Chorus] When you're not around Silence is loud World turns upside down When you're not around
