Arab Strap - You're Not There Lyrics

Don't ask me why I still send these these words to you
Actually, just ask away, please do
These encrypted valentines I know you can't receive
They're only my blue bubbles, but they help me believe

I watch the skies for you, the corners of my eyes for you
Checking my replies for you, but you're (you're) not (not) there (there)
I light a light for you, I listen to the night for you
I try and stay upright for you, but you're (you're) not (not) there (there)

I still send hearts and happy faces, kisses, flames and aubergines
And you still watch me from the wall, your face still warms up every screen
I feel your footsteps walk beside me, feel your fingers in my hair
I hear your whispers in my ear, then turn around and you're not there

I watch the skies for you, the corners of my eyes for you
And my hope never dies for you, but you're (you're) not (not) there (there)
I still confide in you, I sleep on the right side for you
And if I must, abide for you, but you're (you're) not (not) there (there)
You're not there

Don't ask me why I still send these these words to you
Actually, just ask away, please do
