Lyrics

I know there’s somewhere else you’ve been

I am aware that you've been somewhere else

Hiding from little me

Acknowledging that you've been avoiding me

I know because I followed you

I know this because I've followed you

Down that road that we never went to

Referring to a path we never took together

Would you take me there

Expressing a desire to be taken to that place

I’m longing to see just where you’ve been

Longing to discover where you've been

Let me come and stay

Asking to stay with you

Cause by myself I’m half insane

Feeling incomplete and somewhat crazy when alone

Why do I love you more when you’re away

Questioning why love intensifies in your absence

Kiss you more when you can’t stay

Expressing a tendency to kiss you more when you can't stay

Dream of loving you but then

Dreaming of love, but awakening to a different reality

I wake to find the truth is that

Discovering the truth upon waking up

I need you more with everyday

Expressing increasing need for you every day

I have to live without your face

Having to endure life without seeing your face

But when you fall into my arms

When you come back to me, your love feels better from a distance

I find your love is better far away

Expressing the paradox that your love is more appreciated when far away

I know when you really smile

Recognizing your genuine smiles

And when you fake so they can see

Acknowledging when you pretend for others to see

But I don’t, I don’t know where it is

Admitting ignorance about where you go when we kiss

That you go whenever we kiss

Expressing a desire to know that undisclosed place

Would you take me there

Reiterating the longing to be taken to your secret place

I’m longing to see just where you’ve been

Desire to see and experience where you've been

Let me come and stay

Asking again to stay with you

Cause by myself I’m half insane

Feeling incomplete and somewhat crazy when alone (repeated)

Why do I love you more when you’re away

Questioning why love intensifies in your absence (repeated)

Kiss you more when you can’t stay

Expressing a tendency to kiss you more when you can't stay (repeated)

Dream of loving you but then

Dreaming of love, but awakening to a different reality (repeated)

I wake to find the truth is that

Discovering the truth upon waking up (repeated)

I need you more with everyday

Expressing increasing need for you every day (repeated)

I have to live without your face

Having to endure life without seeing your face (repeated)

But when you fall into my arms

When you come back to me, your love feels better from a distance (repeated)

I find your love is better far away

Expressing the paradox that your love is more appreciated when far away (repeated)
