When You’re Gone Lyrics by High Wire

Find Me Here, Pt. 1

2021

[Verse 1]
Stepping out on a ledge, meet me halfway
Let your guard, let it down, I won't run away
When you're gone, everything seems a little bit off
I've got to know, even though I've never felt so unprepared
I don't want to let this thing go
That's fine, if you're scared
I'd rather get carried away than never know
(I hate how I handle myself when you're gone)

[Chorus]
I hate how I handle myself when you're gone
Can't face that I'm getting older
Fairweather friends that were there all along
Don't carry the weight that you shoulder

[Verse 2]
Hear me out, hear me out, listen closely
Without a doubt, out a doubt you're the only one
I want, want to see more than anyone else
But you need time to think and forget how you felt before
Now every new thought complicates
What I said was more
Than what you expected because I was never sure

[Chorus]
I hate how I handle myself when you're gone
Can't face that I'm getting older
Fairweather friends that were there all along
Don't carry the weight that you shoulder

[Bridge]
Close my eyes so I can see again, see again
I don't know why, why I can breathe again, breathe again
Close my eyes so I can see again, see again
I don't know why, why I can breathe again, breathe again

[Chorus]
I hate how I handle myself when you're gone
Can't face that I'm getting older
Fairweather friends that were there all along
Don't carry the weight that you shoulder

[Chorus]
I hate how I handle myself when you're gone
(Close my eyes so I can see again, see again)
Can't face that I'm getting older
(I don't know why, why I can breathe again, breathe again)
Fairweather friends that were there all along
(Close my eyes so I can see again, see again)
Don't carry the weight that you shoulder
(I don't know why, why I can breathe again, breathe again)

[Outro]
I hate how I handle myself when you're gone
(Close my eyes so I can see again, see again)
Can't face that I'm getting older
(I don't know why, why I can breathe again, breathe again)
Fairweather friends that were there all along
Don't carry the weight that you shoulder
