Even When I'm Not With You

Pierce The Veil's song 'Even When I'm Not With You' delves into the complexities of love and connection, even in the face of physical separation.

The chorus, 'Even when I'm not with you / I'm still with you,' serves as the emotional core of the song, reiterating the idea that true love and connection are not confined by physical presence.
