[Verse 1] I could be there… You could be here… But I’m not there I’m nowhere near Indecent lights in a chaotic room Darkness appears and the colors bloom I wait for you in the moody air But I’m not there I’m not there [Pre-Chorus] It’s always just a little late It’s always almost real But I’m just smoke behind the gate A ghost you cannot feel [Chorus] I watch the sky bend in two You vanished away, I come unglued Signals fade in empty air I could be there But I’m not there [Verse 2] There’s a chair where you used to sit It hums your name when the light won’t hit I speak aloud but no one hears Just my voice, and all my fears The clocks forgot how to keep time They loop and skip like nursery rhymes I trace your shape in thinning air I should be close… But I’m not there [Bridge] And I feel you in the static hum A dream dissolving on my tongue Every second slips right through I’m not there… And neither are you [Chorus – Reprise] I could be there You could be here But I’m not there It’s never clear The world turns slow, I stay behind Stuck in the fold, lost in the lines [Outro – fading] I’m not there… (whispered) I’m not there… You could be here… But I’m not… The world turns slow, I stay behind Stuck in the fold, lost in the lines [Outro – fading] I’ m not there… ( whispered) I’ m not there… You could be here… But I’ m not…
