Nick Austin - Still Here

Why do I still wish that you were here
Sitting with this blank text
Fill that out, delete it next
You are as confusing as you're clear
Why is it that I can feel you near?
Given all this distance
We had left the vision
But I can hear you talking in my ear still
Oh no
What is my love doing inside of you
What is my trust doing inside of you
What is my future doing inside of you
What is my blood doing inside of you
Nah, they don't belong to you
Not after everything we been through
It's hard to see a future past the past, present re-writes
It's hard to keep a balance when the footing we defined lies
Stuck inside a moment kept me stuck inside the wrong time
Couches on the far side
The world we would escape to in the spot we stayed up all night
Just waiting for the birds
And sparking something up
Taking all our shit, man throwing all that up
Fill the cup
It's 5am, we're just getting started
Said I'd blow up
And take you with me but we departed
She said she had enough
She said I wasn't ready
She said I had enough
But I remember her now as the couch and 90's playlists
Surrounded by the air of difference from the way my friends live
And feeling special only means I'm feeling different than this
So, all the pressure was released inside her mind I would guess
I can attest
I can attest
Are you still here?
Are you still here?
Are you still here?
Are you still here?
Are you still here?
Are you still here?
Are you still here?
Are you still here?
So, sleep in tomorrow
And sleep in forever
Just sleep through it all
So, sleep through tomorrow
Been sleeping forever
Been sleeping forever
Just to sleep through it all
So now I sit at the bar
And kill the Heineken I use to kill where you are
And hope it goes far
At least enough to block the way that you are
I used to think we'd be the type they would all
Be jealous of but it seems we're the same as them all
And somewhere from the way we were to now it seems so involved
But simply put we just let go of our parts
Truth be told we just let go of the start
And told ourselves there aint no finish line when we were just fucking stalled
Blinding what it was to keep ourselves on the fall
All for the sake of selfish reasons we can't even recall
So breathe the air and pair what you hear
Live through they friends and wait for pictures to appear on the wall
So much for fingers behind your ear, and through your hair
So much for cradling your mind at all
But I remember her now as the couch and 90's playlists
Surrounded by the air of difference from the way my friends live
And feeling special only means I'm feeling different than this
So, all the pressure was released inside her mind I would guess
I can attest
I can attest
Are you still here?
Are you still here?
Are you still here?
Are you still here?
Are you still here?
Are you still here?
Are you still here?
Are you still here?
Were you ever there?
