You Missed It

[Intro] [soft piano, building] [Verse 1] Cameras at every corner Flashbulbs in my sleep You were watching every move I made But you never saw me leave I slipped out through the static Through the noise you called my name While you were hunting headlines We were dancing in the rain [Pre-Chorus] You think you know the story But you only know the frame [Chorus] You missed it The moment that was ours You missed it Chasing empty cars While you were watching everything We found the only thing that's real You missed it And you never will [Verse 2] They'll post about the silence The whispers and the rings They'll zoom into the photographs And miss the whole damn thing The vows we said in shadow The tears nobody knew You were so busy watching You forgot to see it through [Pre-Chorus] You think you know the ending But you never cracked the code [Chorus] You missed it The moment that was ours You missed it Chasing empty cars While you were watching everything We found the only thing that's real You missed it And you never will [Bridge] [building intensity] All your lenses couldn't find it All your theories, all your guesses The most precious things happen In the spaces you don't notice We were hiding in plain sight Right there in front of you And the truth is we weren't hiding You were looking through [Final Chorus] [full power, layered vocals] You missed it! The moment that was ours You missed it! Chasing empty cars While you were watching everything We found the only thing We found the only thing We found the only thing that's real [softer, intimate] You missed it You missed it [whispered] And you never will [Outro] [feedback swells, fading] You missed it...
