(Intro ) I still catch you in the gaps Between the clock’s heavy ticks Where the seconds stop making sense And nothing ever really sticks (Verse 1 ) We weren't sketched out in the sand Or something the tide could just take We were etched into the bone A slow, inevitable ache Your voice is a low-level hum Underneath the noise of the day Like a song I can’t quite remember But can’t ever push away (Pre-Chorus ) I tried to outrun the quiet But it’s got your eyes, your breath Every mile was just a circle Back to the things we never confessed (Chorus ) So I’ll wait where the clocks don't work Where the air still tastes like you In the hollows and the dirt Until the sky turns a different blue If this love is a debt, I’ll pay it slow Through every life I’m forced to know I don’t need a "forever" to prove it’s true I’ve already lost my life… just loving you (Verse 2) I still feel you in the silence Like a shadow I can’t outrun Every word I never said Still burns like a loaded gun I tried building new beginnings But they all collapse the same Every doorway leads me back To the echo of your name (Pre-Chorus) And I swore I could forget you But forgetting feels like death Every heartbeat just repeats you Like I’m living second best (Chorus) So we wait where the clocks don't work Where the air still tastes like truth In the wreckage, in the hurt Still reaching out for proof If this love is a debt, we’ll pay it slow Through every life we’re forced to know We don’t need a "forever" to prove it’s true We already lost our lives… just loving through (Bridge ) If there’s a place where the memory don’t bite Where the past finally loosens its hold at night I’ll meet you there with the same old scars Still counting the space between who we are We were never supposed to be easy We were never meant to be "fine" We were built from the heavy stuff The kind that outlasts time (Final Chorus) Yeah, we’ll wait where the clocks don't work Where you still call out my name Through the wreck and through the hurt Through the distance and the pain If love’s a war, we’ll stay in the fray Through every life, through every grey We don’t need a "forever" to prove it’s true We’d waste all our time… just to find the truth (Outro ) So if you hear me in the quiet Don’t let it slip away Somewhere past the breaking point We’re still okay
