[Verse 1]
Clock in, clock out
Still my mind draws clouds
Sketching dreams on the back of a payslip
Turning late rent into late-night greatness
Freelance days, chasing every invoice
Turned my hunger into my own voice
Small flat, big plans on the plaster
Every blank wall screaming “go faster”
[Chorus]
You all miss me when I’m quiet
Like a room with the love pulled out
Every heart in my old life
Still singing my name out loud
I’ve been gone just chasing something
But your shadow’s in every crowd
You all miss me, I can feel it
And I’m trying to make you proud (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Got a key in a lock, that’s a first brick
Tiny little place, but it feels rich
Paint stains on the floor from the last piece
Turned my hallway to a small gallery
Writing hooks on the back of a contract
Little love lines hidden in the margins
Turned my heartbreak into side cash
Every sad night now a soundtrack
[Chorus]
You all miss me when I’m quiet
Like a room with the love pulled out
Every heart in my old life
Still singing my name out loud
I’ve been gone just building something
But your shadow’s in every crowd
You all miss me, I can feel it
And I’m trying to make you proud (oh yeah)
[Bridge]
Verse in my notes, rent on my mind
Rhymes in the queue with the bills in a line
Art on the walls, poems in my phone
Whole little world in this studio home
If I fade for a week, don’t doubt me
I’m out here turning love into salary
Every “where you been?” that you send me
Feels like fuel when the days get heavy
[Chorus]
You all miss me when I’m quiet
Like a room with the love pulled out
Every heart in my old life
Still singing my name out loud
I’ve been gone just chasing something
But your shadow’s in every crowd
You all miss me, yeah you feel me
And I’m trying to make you proud (so proud)
