When You're Here
Falling Again: Embracing Love's Gravity in 'When You're Here'
Lyrics
In the moment
In the present moment
I can convince myself that I'm over you
I can convince myself that I've moved on from you
And in the moment
Still in the present moment
You could say that I'm strong
Someone could argue that I'm emotionally strong
And that I don't really care at all
And that I appear indifferent
In the moment
Back to the present moment
I'll tell my friends not to worry
I assure my friends not to be concerned
Trust me, it's not even like that
Insisting that the situation isn't as they might think
'Cuz in this moment
Because at this very moment
You're not here smiling back at me
You, the person in question, are not here reciprocating my feelings
Eyes glimmering
Your eyes shining brightly
But when you're here
But when you are physically present
It's like I'm falling for the first time
It feels like I'm experiencing the sensation of falling in love for the first time
Four years ago I've never been the same
Four years ago, my life changed, and I've never been the same since
'Cuz when you're here
Because when you are here
I can't remember all the reasons I made to walk away
I struggle to recall the reasons I concocted to distance myself from you
Instead I'm finding reasons for you to stay
Instead, I find myself searching for reasons for you to stay
On that Sunday
Referring to a specific Sunday
We were alone for a moment
We shared a moment of solitude
Briefly, heaven was teasing me
Briefly, it felt like heaven was toying with me
'Cuz on that Sunday
Recalling that Sunday
You placed your hand close to mine
You placed your hand near mine
Was it a sign
Contemplating if it was a significant gesture
'Cuz when you're here
But when you are physically present
It's like I'm falling for the first time
It feels like I'm experiencing the sensation of falling in love for the first time
Four years ago I've never been the same
Four years ago, my life changed, and I've never been the same since
'Cuz when you're here
Because when you are here
I can't remember all the reasons I made to walk away
I struggle to recall the reasons I concocted to distance myself from you
Instead I'm finding reasons for you to stay
Instead, I find myself searching for reasons for you to stay
I guess I must've let my guard down
Realizing that I may have lowered my defenses
Didn't think I was one to fool around
Not believing I was the type to engage in such behavior
And fall over and over again for you
Falling repeatedly for you
Feels like I'm spinning 'round in circles
Feeling like I'm stuck in a cycle of confusion
When I'm alone the answer's simple
When I'm by myself, the solution seems clear
But when you're here
But when you are physically present
Oh when you're here
Oh, when you are physically present
It's like I'm falling for the first time
It feels like I'm experiencing the sensation of falling in love for the first time
Four years ago I've never been the same
Four years ago, my life changed, and I've never been the same since
'Cuz when you're here
Because when you are here
I can't remember all the reasons I made to walk away
I struggle to recall the reasons I concocted to distance myself from you
Instead I'm finding more reasons for you to stay
Instead, I find myself discovering more reasons for you to stay
