Out of Phase

You were real

I just arrived too late

I followed your signs

Like they were promises

You pulled me close

Then left me weightless

The room went quiet

Your voice turned down

And I stood there

With my heart out

You said the timing

Wasn't right

But you still held me

That one night

The air was thin

The lips were dry

You held me close

Then said goodbye

My hands went cold

The lights went out

I broke before I could kiss you

You said forever to my ear

But time refused to let us be

We found each other out of phase

With hearts surviving shades of pain

Let's hold this one last breath

Before we fade away

You said the timing

Wasn't right

But you still held me

That one night

The air was thin

The lips were dry

You held me close

Then said goodbye

My hands went cold

The lights went out

I broke before I could kiss you

You touched my skin

The moment burned

But not enough

To keep your name

The stars will fade

But I still feel your face

The air was thin

The lips were dry

You held me close

Then said goodbye

My hands went cold

The lights went out

I broke before I could kiss you

Now stars are all I see

You're somewhere I can't be

And all our promises

Will fade like memories
