You're Not Here - Akira Yamaoka

Moments move like the ocean waves Take turns around me, before you know I'd say I'm so unsure, was it me or her? We're washed out now All the colors blur Now you're not here Was I anything that you needed Oh, my dear And you're not here If I had try to change Would it end the same way?

Where have you been? Where have you gone? And have I done Something wrong? You're the tooth fairy You're like Santa Claus You're like white noise When I want my favorite song Just come on back And come on home It ain't super smart To leave me alone Light a flare Pick up the phone I'm like a stoner, babe Without my bong Are you hiding in the closet? Are you underneath the bed? Did you go for a long walk Off a short pier? How come you're not here? Should I worry you've been bitten? Or somebody got you high? Quick, come back Or I might just die! How come you're not here? I've heard some rumors About another girl I heard she's cute, but she stores Nuts like a squirrel And that's all cool I'll wait right here 'Til you get bored And she gets carded for beer I'm the one I'm just that slick You won't find better I'm honey dipped There ain't a thing That's fake on me I miss you, baby Come home to me Are you hiding in the closet? Are you underneath the bed? Did you go for a long walk Off a short pier? How come you're not here? Should I worry you've been bitten? Or somebody got you high? Quick, come back Or I might just die! How come you're not here? Has anyone seen? Has anyone seen? Has anyone seen why He's hiding from me? Can anyone see? Can anyone see? Can anyone see? Let's play hide and seek! Are you hiding in the closet? Are you underneath the bed? Did you go for a long walk Off a short pier? How come you're not here? Should I worry you've been bitten? Or somebody got you high? Quick, come back Or I might just die! Quick, come back Or I might just die!

Gotta catch that plane at seven thirty Why haven't you come to say goodbye Time is running out and I'm still waiting I'm so lost without you, I could die Yesterday you said you loved me Everything seemed to be fine Today you're not here, I'm so lonely It's the waiting that's driving me out of my mind Don't know how I'll sing in that big city How can I perform if you're not there This will be the worst of all my journeys The image of your face will follow me everywhere I need your tender kisses The feel of your hands, your caress Your perfume has me burning My heart is yearning to touch you I need you so much If you're not here, by my side Can't hold back the tears I try to hide Don't think I can take it I know I won't make it Make it without you If you're not here, by my side Only your love keeps me alive No sense in dreaming My life has no meaning If you're not here I need your tender kisses The feel of your hands, your caress Your perfume has me burning My heart is yearning to touch you I need you so much If you're not here, by my side Can't hold back the tears I try to hide Don't think I can take it I know I won't make it Make it without you If you're not here, by my side Only your love keeps me alive No sense in dreaming My life has no meaning If you're not here

Love was young We saw beyond a sky that had no limits Much higher than the highest star Beyond the furthest planet We thought that we could change the world And everything in it But time ran out of endless hours Gave into doubt, were we just playing an endless game That no one ever wins If I could run away Hide away Forget the way feel But your memory keeps haunting me Convincing me it's real Now you're not here Now you're not here Love and hate Left up to fate A life we took for granted We couldn't stop our running from the things we always wanted No long goodbyes No tears to cry And nothing to believe in But now you're gone We'll never know a love that's grown Time took away All that it gave to the two of us If I could run away Hide away Forget the way I feel But your memory keeps haunting me Convincing me it's real Now you're not here Now you're not here When our hearts were young and nights were long We'd let the morning sun kiss our eyes open Precious dreams that we had now they are dead and gone The promises we made have all been broken If I could run away Hide away Forget the way I feel But your memory keeps haunting me Convincing me it's real Now you're not here Now you're not here In my arms In my life Lovin' you, is just a memory Now you're not here Now you're not here With me now, in my arms, in my mind, in my life
