Every day, I'm away from you

I wanna be near you
Expressing the desire to be close to the person being addressed.
Know that you are here

Lyin' just next to me
Imagining the person lying next to the speaker.
How happy we'd both be
Reflecting on the potential happiness that could be shared in close proximity.
I say it all the time
Expressing love consistently.
You don't pay no mind
Noting a lack of attention or acknowledgment from the person addressed.
When I tell you that I love you
Reiterating the expression of love despite the perceived indifference.
Now do ya ?
Questioning whether the love is recognized by the person.
I wanna be clear

All I wanna hear is your voice

Have your face to see

How happy that would make me

Something out of nothing

But I can't make you appear

While I'm away
Acknowledging the separation and the hope for understanding.
Just know I'll play this song
Committing to playing a song during the absence.
For you and wait
Waiting for the person while playing the song.
