I see your shadow in the glow of my screen
Another day gone, another space in between
We laugh through a signal, cry through a call
But nothing replaces the warmth of it all
The world keeps spinning, but I feel stuck
Like I'm chasing time and running out of luck
But you're the thread I never let unwind
Still tied to your heart, still holding the line

I'm still here, even when I'm not
You're still mine, no matter how far the clock
Ticks and pulls at the time we've lost
But love don't fade, and hearts don't rot
Every mile is a war we fought
And we're still here, even when we're not

I talk to the stars like they know your name
And whisper to silence just to stay sane
I count down the days, but they move like glass
So slow, so sharp, but they always pass
I've got your voice in a worn-out song
And memories that keep me strong
No ocean, sky, or state of mind
Could ever pull you off my spine

I'm still here, even when I'm not
You're still mine, no matter how far the clock
Ticks and pulls at the time we've lost
But love don't fade, and hearts don't rot
Every mile is a war we fought
And we're still here, even when we're not

So scream into the dark, I'll hear you still
Across the static, across the chill
This isn't distance, it's just delay
We'll cash in every lonely day
I'm not gone, I'm just away
But I promise I'll come back
And I'll stay

I'm still here, even when I'm not
You're still mine, no matter how far the clock
Ticks and pulls at the time we've lost
But love don't fade, and hearts don't rot
Every mile is a war we fought
And we're still here, even when we're not
Every goodnight that hurts to say
Just means I love you more each day
