In Your Absence... (Demo)

But in your absence
I'm still breathing
Your name in the past tense

It's a beautiful day out
The sky is blue but it's 38 degrees

Did you know when you woke up that morning
That the day would be your last
Did you pour yourself another cup of coffee
Step outside for a cigarette
Were you still breathing
When your body collapsed on the cold tile floor
Your heart isn't beating
No not anymore
No not anymore
And you said you were dizzy
The room started spinning
Your vision went black
If you aren't to busy
I'd really prefer it
If you'd just come back

But in your absence
I'm still breathing
In past tense
But in your absence
I'm still breathing your name
In the past tense

And I know you'd stand right there beside me
As they clip my angel wings
I never thought I could be so disappointing
Yet still I stand and sing
Why won't you let me sing for you
Just want to let me sing for you

You won't get old 'til you're 102
You won't get old 'til you're 102
If there is peanut butter in the pantry
We're doing fine
Never was there much room for other
Only coffee never wine

But in your absence
I'm still breathing your name
In the past tense
But in your absence
I'm still breathing your name
In the past tense

Hey... it's your mama
Umm, it's a beautiful day out
The sky is blue but it's 38 degrees
Anyway, heh
I wanted to give you call
Uh, I was hoping to catch you
But I guess not
Give me a call when you can, OK
Love you
