Unobtainium (Original)

[Verse 1] Deep in the mines, they dig for the shine A metal so rare, it bends space and time Stronger than steel, but slips through your grasp Unobtainium calls, but it won't last People chase shadows, in the dark they believe It's the key to the stars, if you can retrieve [Pre-Chorus] They say it's impossible, yeah they say it's not real But I know what I'm chasing, I know what I feel [Chorus] Unobtainium, oh Unobtainium You're the dream that I chase, but you're never my own Unobtainium, yeah Unobtainium Slipping away, leaving me all alone Can't hold you, can't own you, you're out of my reach Unobtainium, you're the lesson I teach [Verse 2] Thought it was cold, like a rock in the ground But your eyes spark like fire, turning me around Not forged in the earth, but alive in the night You're the spark I can't catch, vanishing from sight I reach for the glow, but it's pulling away Unobtainium whispers, but won't let me stay [Pre-Chorus] They say it's impossible, yeah they say it's not real But I know what I'm chasing, I know what I feel [Chorus] Unobtainium, oh Unobtainium You're the dream that I chase, but you're never my own Unobtainium, yeah Unobtainium Slipping away, leaving me all alone Can't hold you, can't own you, you're out of my reach Unobtainium, you're the lesson I teach [Verse 3] In echoes of laughter, you dance through the haze A puzzle unsolved, in a thousand ways Can't pin you down, like smoke in the wind You're everywhere close, but the chase never ends Maps lead to nowhere, traps spring empty air Unobtainium hides, like she isn't there [Pre-Chorus] They say it's impossible, yeah they say it's not real But I know what I'm chasing, I know what I feel [Chorus] Unobtainium, oh Unobtainium You're the dream that I chase, but you're never my own Unobtainium, yeah Unobtainium Slipping away, leaving me all alone Can't hold you, can't own you, you're out of my reach Unobtainium, you're the lesson I teach [Verse 4] Waves crash around you, but you ride the tide A secret in motion, with so much to hide I build up the walls, but you slip through the cracks Unobtainium laughs, never coming back Stars in your orbit, but I'm lost in the void Chasing the thrill, forever annoyed [Bridge] Not a treasure to find, not a prize to be won Not metal but human? A soul, not for anyone I was digging for gold, but found something alive Now I'm learning to let go, just to survive [Final Chorus] Unobtainium, oh Unobtainium You're the one that I want, but you'll never be mine Unobtainium, yeah Unobtainium Just walking away, leaving me behind Can't hold you, won't own you, you're not mine to keep Unobtainium, you're the lesson so deep [Verse 5] One day I'll wake, let the fantasy fade But your pull is magnetic, in the games that we played Not metal, not myth, but a heart out of sync Unobtainium lingers, on the edge of the brink I'll sing to the void, where you shimmer and gleam Forever my chase, in this unending dream [Outro - anthemic with layered vocals] Unobtainium... Unobtainium... Can't be mine, no, can't be mine...
