"Absence Of You" lyrics

There's plenty to breathe but I'm fighting for air
I guess you filled up a hole I didn't know was there
I got a mouth to speak but the words won't come out
There's nothing to say if you're not around
You'd lay with your leg wrapped on my hip bone
You'd hum in your sleep, you said life was a song
Now what do I do when the singing's all gone

In the absence of you
There's a crater that's greater than the universe
Than any stargazer can see
It humbles the grandest of canyons
I'm just a man left standing here trying to be
In the absence of you

There's a pain in my chest here where you used to lay
And it misses your hair and the rhythm your heart used to play
My hand stays open just hoping you'll warm it again someday
There's an ache in my soul like a hunger that won't go away
You shine in the darkness like something so holy
The sun was it's farthest your sunlight would hold me
Now what do I do when the light is all gone

In the absence of you
There's a crater that's greater than the universe
Than any stargazer could see
It humbles the grandest of canyons
I'm just a man left standing here trying to be
In the absence of you

There's lonely only the broken and downtrodden lowly can see
It crumbles the mountains to rubble
And I'm just a man left standing here trying to breathe
In the absence of you
In the absence of you
The absence of you

In the absence of you
There's a crater it's greater than the universe
Than any stargazer could see
It humbles the grandest of canyons
I'm just a man left standing here trying to be
