I can see reflections Drifting into space Always through a mirror Never face to face I ask another question The words disintegrate The absence of presence fills the air I know you're here but you're not really there Blinding bright projections Crash against the wall I can't get your attention No matter how loudly I call Reaching for connection To break the silent stare The absence of presence fills the air I know you're here but you're not really there Imagine we broke through The noise of our creation And found the missing pieces This moment kept alive In suspended animation And finally completed I can hear the echoes As they reverberate I turn to chase the sound again But I'm just a step too late I can still remember The way it resonates The presence of absence disappears I know you're there but you're not really here

I write you letters, but I don't send them I just can't figure out how to end them I try to reach you, you're right beside me There's something missin' and we can't deny that We live together separately We don't want to fall apart But every time we kiss there's an emptiness An absence of the heart How did we lose it, why did this happen When did we take it all for granted We sit in silence, inside we're cryin' How can we keep our love from dyin' We live together separately We don't want to fall apart But every time we kiss there's an emptiness An absence of the heart We live together separately We don't want to fall apart But every time we kiss there's an emptiness An absence of the heart We live together separately We don't want to fall apart But every time we kiss there's an emptiness An absence of the heart I write you letters, but I don't send them

Why you standing all by yourself? Those shoes were made for dancing with someone else Why don't we move over to that empty space? I bet you 20 bucks I'll put a smile on your face I know a place where we can Dance the night away Baby, we could try to Make the world spin slower We could take our time and Get to know each other over cherry wine, huh Well, it's so soon to give up on tonight, uh I haven't had the chance to show you my moves and I I think you'd like to see why they would call me Mr. Dynamite I can show while we dance the night away Baby, we could try to Make the world spin slower We could take our time and Get to know each other over cherry wine I've been waiting on this dance Floor made for two babe Won't you show me just what you can do? I don't wanna waste your time So please just have me for tonight? Huh Dance Yeah, I said let's dance the night away Baby, we could try to Make the world spin slower We could take our time and Get to know each other over cherry wine Oh, I, dance the night away Baby we could try to Make the world spin slower We could take our time, uh Know it's too soon to say you're mine Let's have a little drink tonight And get to know each other over cherry wine

Comin' along through the years Been tuckin' away all these tears Got a strange obsession, I I wanna stay right here If I could, I would, my dear But the tickin' never stops Forever spinnin' on this rock I'm learnin' life the way this game is played, but Could I play it with- Well, if I ever grow old (Old with you) I'm needin' your hand to hold (Just us two) Any moment the world could fall right down, but At least I'm fallin' with you So, if I ever grow old (Old with you) But I don't mind bein' young Not often, I find myself scared Don't think I'm quite mentally prepared Though when you and I link up Just look how easy things become Or you could play this game alone But you might need your player two If I ever grow old (Old with you) I'm needin' your hand to hold, no, no (Just us two) Any moment the world could fall right down, but At least I'm fallin' with you So if I ever grow old (Old with you) But I don't mind bein' young Why don't we start livin' more? And see what life's got in store Before we start to see how much we've changed So if we ever grow old I wanna grow with you Da, da-da, na-na, na, oh-oh, oh Old with you, oh Well, if I ever grow old (Old with you) Do you know I'm needin' your hand to hold? (Just us two) oh-oh, oh Oh, any moment the world could fall right down, but Could you fall for me too? Ever grow old I wanna grow with you But I don't mind bein' young

I hate the silence now that you're not here I thought one day you'd come around Am I livin' in the past with all these questions, never asked? Will they keep me here? It's so quiet in the stratosphere I keep my space, but I'm still bound To the spell that we both cast But sometimes, magic doesn't last For me, it did For me, it did I Played out this scene Of you with each other But not that with me That kind of love Is so hard to see Now, here we are It's him that you need Looks just like us Us without me Why do I fade into that heart of yours? 'Cause you still hold a spot in mine But you're in someone else's room While mine still smells of your perfume I'm tethered Forever I Played out this scene Of you with each other But not that with me And that kind of love Is so hard to see Now, here we are It's him that you need Looks just like us Us without me Ooh, oh oh oh Without me Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, I've Played out this scene Of you with each other But not that with me And that kind of love Is so hard to see Now, here we are It's him that you need Looks just like us Us without me
