[Intro - Clean guitar arpeggios with light reverb] [Chorus] Between the want and what I owe, There’s a gap I can’t outgrow. You reach for me, I fade to grey, My own ambition pulls away. [Verse 1] I walked through town with empty hands, Posters for lives I’ll never plan. I love you, but I can’t stay still, The thought of comfort makes me ill. [Chorus] Between the want and what I owe, There’s a gap I can’t outgrow. You reach for me, I fade to grey, My own ambition pulls away. [Verse 2] The rain comes down like borrowed time, You call, I let it ring — I lie. It’s not that I don’t care, you see, I’m just afraid of needing me. [Chorus] Between the want and what I owe, There’s a gap I can’t outgrow. You reach for me, I fade to grey, My own ambition pulls away. [Verse 3] You said the heart’s a fragile thing, But so is pride, and it still sings. I chase the sound, I lose the ground, And end up nowhere — safe, unbound. [Chorus] Between the want and what I owe, There’s a gap I can’t outgrow. You reach for me, I fade to grey, My own ambition pulls away. [Outro - Slow fade, single guitar picking motif] [Fade Out]
