When Youre Away by Traveller (USA) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you're away, the little things overwhelm me
When you're away, nobody can tell me
That there's any reason to get out of the bed
I open my eyes and see nothing

[Verse 2]
When you're away, I just don't feel like singing
Words come but without any meaning
What did I do before you came along
And showed me how life could be?

[Chorus]
When you're here
I can finally catch my breath again
Don't make me wait around
I'm only happy when you're here
Nothing makes me feel the way I feel
When you're near, don't go away again

[Verse 3]
'Cause when you're away all I do is remember
When you're away, there's no waves on the water
Had I never met you, I might never have known
How good life could be
[Verse 4]
Just yesterday, I was happy as a a goldfish
Now I'm drowning in an ocean [?]
I know that I'll never be the same

[Chorus]
When you're here
I can finally catch my breath again
Don't make me wait around
I'm only happy when you're here
Oh, nothing makes me feel the way I feel
When you're near, don't go away again
And leave me here, ooh
