I see your shadow in the glow of my screen Another day gone, another space in between We laugh through a signal, cry through a call But nothing replaces the warmth of it all The world keeps spinning, but I feel stuck Like I'm chasing time and running out of luck But you're the thread I never let unwind Still tied to your heart, still holding the line I'm still here, even when I'm not You're still mine, no matter how far the clock Ticks and pulls at the time we've lost But love don't fade, and hearts don't rot Every mile is a war we fought And we're still here, even when we're not I talk to the stars like they know your name And whisper to silence just to stay sane I count down the days, but they move like glass So slow, so sharp, but they always pass I've got your voice in a worn-out song And memories that keep me strong No ocean, sky, or state of mind Could ever pull you off my spine I'm still here, even when I'm not You're still mine, no matter how far the clock Ticks and pulls at the time we've lost But love don't fade, and hearts don't rot Every mile is a war we fought And we're still here, even when we're not So scream into the dark, I'll hear you still Across the static, across the chill This isn't distance, it's just delay We'll cash in every lonely day I'm not gone, I'm just away But I promise I'll come back And I'll stay I'm still here, even when I'm not You're still mine, no matter how far the clock Ticks and pulls at the time we've lost But love don't fade, and hearts don't rot Every mile is a war we fought And we're still here, even when we're not Every goodnight that hurts to say Just means I love you more each day
