When I’m Not Around
[Intro]
What you gonna do when I'm not around?
[Verse 1]
Take advantage of the time here that we have
From the table to the kitchen to the bath
Don't let me go, let me go, let me go fast
Make it longer, make it special, make me laugh
And you show me, when I leave you, you be sad
So you miss me? So you miss me? Do you miss me bad?
[Pre-Chorus]
Will you still keep the pictures of me on your camera roll?
Yeah, of me in just my Levi's and a camisole
Or will you meet somebody else and let her play my role?
Ah
[Chorus]
So what you gonna do when I'm not around?
I know that's not usually what we talk about
What you gonna do? What you gonna do?
I wonder
Oh, what you gonna do when I'm not around?
What you gonna do with your hands?
'Cause they're always on me, always on me
Oh, I wonder
[Verse 2]
Yeah, the lights when they flicker, yeah, that's me (Mm-mm)
Watching over you and under while you sleep
Do you feel? Do you feel? Do you feel me?
Don't you dare let anybody take my place (No, no)
But if you do though, it will never be the same
Oh no, I'll hate that day
[Pre-Chorus]
Will you still keep the pictures of me on your camera roll?
Remind those videos we made on your remote control?
Or will you meet somebody else and let her play my role?
Uh, ah
[Chorus]
So what you gonna do when I'm not around?
I know that's not usually what we talk about
What you gonna do? What you gonna do?
I wonder
Oh, what you gonna do when I'm not around? (What you gonna do?)
What you gonna do with your hands?
'Cause they're always on me, always on me
Oh, I wonder
[Bridge]
You know, you have no fresh food, I'll be our refrigerator
Leave them dirty clothes on the radiator
All your good turns right into bad behavior
[Chorus]
So, what you gonna do when I'm not around? (Hey yeah yeah, yeah)
I know that's not usually what we talk about (What we talk about, babe, yeah)
What you gonna do? What you gonna do?
I wonder (Oh, I wonder, yeah, yeah)
Oh, what you gonna do when I'm not around? (When I'm not around)
What you gonna do with your hands?
'Cause they're always on me, always on me
Oh, I wonder
[Outro]
What you gonna do?
