When you're away little things overwhelm me
When you're away nobody can tell me
If there's any reason to get out of the bed
I open my eyes and see nothing

When you're away, I just don't feel like singing
Words come, but without any meaning
What did I do before you came along
And showed me how life could be?

When you're here
I can finally catch my breath again
I'm only happy when you're here
Nothing makes me feel the way I feel when you're here
Don't go away again

[Verse 3]
'Cause when you're away all I do is remember
When you're away there are no waves on the water
Had I never met you I might never have known
Just how good life could be

Just yesterday (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ahh)
I was happy as a goldfish (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Now I'm drowning in an ocean (Ahh, ahh)
Of what-ifs (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Don't think I'll ever be the same (Ahh, ahh)

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ohh, ahh-ahh-ahh

When you're here (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Oh, honey, I can finally catch my breath again (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Well, I'm only happy when you're here (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
And nothing makes me feel the way I feel when you're here (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Don't go away again

When you're here (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Oh, I can finally catch my breath again (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Well, I'm only happy when you're here

Yeah!
