[Verse 1]
Sitting inside in my room, calling my tune
Decide it's time to get up, start my day around noon
Get on the train
Like every day it's all the same
Grab my bagel from Finagle
And I'm Audi like an A8
Look like a mess
I Drink my coffee like my cigarettes
I put it down to send a text
But suddenly I see beauty
This little blonde cutey
With bags like she travelling
Birth mark on her face just let me know she carry baggage then
Girl in the red flower dress, looking depressed
With a hint of confidence the way she bottles up her stress
I try to let her know I feel for her by smiling
She look at me like "what the f**?" and turn her head away from me
Certain complacency I get right at the teet
I hear the call for Park Street
And I grab my bag, yo lets meet
Doors open on both sides, I didn't have the chance
To say "What up?" to shawty only hit her with a glance, like
[Hook]
(What do I do when you're gone?)
What do I do yo, I'm trying to stay true
(What do I do when you're gone?)
Tell me, can I come kick it 'witchu
(What do I do when you're gone, baby?)
Now we can chill all night (all night)
(What do I do when you're gone?)
But first, I gotta get a word 'witchu
[Verse 2]
I said "daym that was a hot girl on that street condo"
No blanch kinda made me lose track of all my plans
I hit the transfer for the green line, in the meantime
I'm sitting on the bench having some real quality me time
Can't help but think to check my phone to read the news
I guess I don't know why I read that sh** it just make me confused
I see so many things in my commute that make me smile
The true beauty in life is just the things we take for granted and
Go to the studio, put my phone on the table made it granted
Started ranting about how I just got this cool vintage camera, snap
I took the pic, I heard her comment 'bout it lasting longer than words
Put the words in the song to make it last longer, word
In the booth lay a piano too the left of me
You see me? Here, let me play it if you don't believe me
[Hook]
(What do I do when you're gone?)
What do I do yo, I'm trying to stay true
(What do I do when you're gone?)
Tell me, can I come kick it 'witchu
(What do I do when you're gone, baby?)
Now we can chill all night (all night)
(What do I do when you're gone?)
But first, I gotta get a word 'witchu
[Verse 3]
Left the studio, just recorded this track
Now I'm on the D-back
And I get a call from my buddy Ron
He live in Cambridge so the ride wasn't that long
I took a stop at whole foods to grab some fruit to my shawn
What do you know, the same girl from the train
She's in the fruit section I'm looking at her melons like daym what is her name?
Instead of saying wadup, I just paid
For my organic chapstick and strawberries and walked out the door
Dropped my receipt that had my name on it right on the floor
Didn't think twice and went to Rons and he called
Like yo, can you go to the liquor store?
I'm like, alright I gotchu
I grabbed some Budweiser and Coors
We chilled all night watching Discovery
Certainly rock, played some cla**ic hip-hop
So my head was certainly bop, stop
Went to the bathroom and I checked my Facebook
Got a friend request from shawty named Emily Cook
Had a birth mark on her face, information said she loved the city
It's funny how a normal day can turn to be so pretty
She hit me up like, that was you with the receipt
I'm like, na that wasn't me
And she responded like, you're pretty funny, honey
[Hook]
(What do I do when you're gone?)
What do I do yo, I'm trying to stay true

Now we can chill all night (all night)
