When You're Around

(앨범: Southall - 2023)

Somewhere out there right outside of someplace
A thousand miles away from where you are
Trying to carve a dream out of the highway
Wondering how it ever got this far
You're finally getting used to feeling lonely
And I'm getting used up awful fast
Trying to prove myself to perfect strangers
The kind of high that never seems to last

The moment I unpack my bag it's almost time to go
It all slows to a crawl when I'm just trying to get back home
As soon as I lay eyes on you I'm at the speed of sound
Time only seems to fly by when you're around

Mile-markers punctuate the distance
Past a certain point they're hard to miss
There's a reason I came out here in the first place
I guess I just lost sight of what it is
I promised you the days would go by quickly
Before I pulled my car out of the drive
You knew that I was lying when the words came
But you can't hide your heart from hard goodbyes

The moment I unpack my bag it's almost time to go
It all slows to a crawl when I'm just trying to get back home
As soon as I lay eyes on you I'm at the speed of sound
Time only seems to fly by when you're around

The second I come through the door it's nearly time to leave
A month or two away is like a weekend on our street
As soon as I lay eyes on you I'm at the speed of sound
Time only seems to fly by when you're around
When you're around...
