Choose Me When Nothing's Wrong

Verse 1

You sit across the table

Two feet between our chairs

But you're a thousand miles away

Lost somewhere in the air

Pre-Chorus

And I could scream your name

Bang the glass till it breaks

But you won't even flinch

You won't even turn your face

Chorus

The space beside me

Is empty even when you're here

The space beside me

Grows wider every year

I'm reaching out across the gap

Fingers slipping through

The space beside me

Keeps filling up with you

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, oh-oh

With you

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Verse 2

Your eyes are on the window

Your hands are in your lap

I trace the outline of your smile

Like a photograph that's cracked

Pre-Chorus

And maybe someday soon

You'll look my way again

But I've been counting hollow days

Since I don't know when

Chorus

The space beside me

Is empty even when you're here

The space beside me

Grows wider every year

I'm reaching out across the gap

Fingers slipping through

The space beside me

Keeps filling up with you

Bridge

Tell me what it takes

To pull you back down to the ground

Tell me what it takes

To make you stay when nothing's wrong

To make you choose me

When nothing's wrong

Chorus

The space beside me

Is empty even when you're here

The space beside me

Grows wider every year

I'm reaching out across the gap

Fingers slipping through

The space beside me

Keeps filling up with you

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, oh-oh

With you

Oh-oh, oh-oh
