as if you re here

Metric

So it s just goodbye, my dear friend
And it s all I d give to see you again
But it s all I have, this song you ll never hear
And it s all I, all I play, and I feel you near
As if you re here

I play it through the night
I play it to deny it
I played it loud to fight it
But now I play it quiet

I substitute what almost was
To embrace eventuality
Everyone you lose that you can t reproduce
And the endings prove to be tough to refuse

I tried constant positivity
I tried toxic constant positivity
No, it really doesn t work for me
The illusion proved to be worse than the truth
So I play this song to picture you

I play it through the night
I play it to deny it
I played it loud to fight it
But now I play it quiet

So it s just goodbye now, my dear friend
And it s all I d give to see you again
But it s all I have, this song you ll never hear
Play it quiet through the night, I feel you near

So it s just goodbye now, my dear friend
And it s all I d give to see you again
But it s all I have, this song you ll never hear
Play it quiet through the night, I feel you near
I feel you near, I feel you near

Play it quiet through the night, I feel you near
Play it quiet through the night, I feel you near
Play it quiet through the night, I feel you near
I feel you near, I feel you near

Play it quiet through the night, I feel you near
Play it quiet through the night, I feel you near
Play it quiet through the night, I feel you near
I feel you near as if you re here
