Even When I'm Not With You

(album: The Jaws Of Life - 2023)

I could run all night
I would never tire or slow
I could hold you tight
Tighter than that sold-out show

I believe in the slow ride so
I drag your heart through the sand and snow
I couldn't live by the old school rule
I binge-watched every episode

Oh, I've been wrong
Heart under the gun
Look how far we've come
Think I've finally won

Red lip'd Snow White
Sipping beer through a straw real slow
I had a perfect high
Lip-locked in a bathroom stall

I believe in the slow ride so
I drag your heart through the sand and snow
I inhale the future slow
I exhale the past, let go

Oh, I've been wrong
Heart under the gun
Look how far we've come
Think I've finally won

Even when I'm not with you
I'm still with you
Even when I can't see you
I still feel you
Even when I can't touch you
I pretend to
Even when I'm not with you
I'm still with you
Even when I think I hate you
I still love you
Even when I can't kiss you
I still wait to
Even when I'm not with you
I'm still with you
Even when I'm not with you
I'm still with you

Oh, I've been wrong
Heart under the gun
Look how far we've come
Think I've finally won

Oh, I've been wrong
Heart under the gun
Look how far we've come
Think I've finally won

It's good to know that I'm
The only one who can cut you further
What is love besides
Two souls trying to heal each other
