While You Are Right in Front of Me

I don't think much about breathin'
Until I'm turnin' blue
I never spend any time grievin'
Till suddenly it's all I do
I never worry about food or drink
Until there's nothing left to eat
I need to tell you that I love you
While you are right in front of me

When did we last watch the sunrise?
When did we last sing our favorite songs?
I used to read the poems in your eyes
The secret space where I belong
My father died so young I'll never know
The things he could've helped me see
I need to show you that I love you
While you are right in front of me

Our lives press on
And so do we
Surrounded by insanity
We try to make the meaningless matter
Ignoring signs and things that love reveals
The more we scramble, we grow sadder
But in a quiet moment
We still know what's real
We still know what's real
You might never see me cryin'
Till all at once I'm a mess
I screw things up, but I keep tryin'
Insist I'm right
Then acquiesce
Well, I don't know how many days I'll get
Or how much more of you I'll see
I just know I need to tell you that I love you
While you are right in front of me
While you are right in front of me
