[Verse 1]
I don't know if you wanna hear from me
But the words kept knocking anyway
Typed "hey" then I hit delete
Three times in a row today
I hope you're laughing at something dumb
Hope the sky feels wide and safe
'Cause life for me goes up then falls
Since you slipped out of this place
[Chorus]
Life's been up
It's been crashing down
Never stays steady
Just spins me around
I still chase calm in a crowded town
But nothing feels as good
As when you were around
Nothing feels as good
As when you were around (oh, when you were around)
[Verse 2]
I pass the corner where we used to wait
For buses that we always missed
I still sit talking to your ghost
In the quiet of my kitchen sink
People say that it all moves on
That the heart grows back somehow
But I'm stuck replaying simple days
That feel louder than right now
[Chorus]
Life's been up
It's been crashing down
Never stays steady
Just spins me around
I still chase calm in a crowded town
But nothing feels as good
As when you were around
Nothing feels as good
As when you were around (when you were, when you were)
[Bridge]
Maybe you don't ever read this
Maybe it just floats away
Still I had to say I miss you
Hope you're somewhere having better days
[Chorus]
Life's been up
It's been crashing down
Never stays steady
Just spins me around
I still chase calm in a crowded town
But nothing feels as good
As when you were around
Nothing feels as good
As when you were around (oh yeah)
Nothing feels as good
As when you were around
