[Verse 1 | Female | immediate, close-mic] You disappeared into the morning Left me nothing but the space I told myself that space was reasonable Then listened for you anyway I left the door exactly where it was Didn't call you back inside If you wanted to come through it This time you had to decide [Verse 2 | Male] I walked the walls around the city Looking for a way to know How something broken keeps on standing How something ancient lets things go I thought the years might make it clearer Thought the stones might make you make sense But every answer led me closer To the space between us instead [Pre-Chorus | Male / Female] [Male] I don't need every date [Female] I won't give you every scar [Male] I don't need to know it all [Female] Just know me where we are [Chorus | Together] In time Maybe something else becomes possible No promises we don't understand No forever drawn into the sand In time We don't have to name what's happening You don't have to lose what came before A heart can hold a little more [Post-Chorus | Female, soft] A little more [Male] A little more [Verse 3 | Female] This city never hides its damage Every century shows through Roman stone beneath the weather Old foundations carrying new Nothing here survives unaltered Nothing disappears completely Every fracture, every joining Still belongs here underneath me [Verse 4 | Male] I thought wanting something different Meant betraying what I'd lost Like a heart could only open If another paid the cost [Female] The dead aren't moved by the living Nothing precious loses place What you carry isn't stolen Just because you make more space [Pre-Chorus | Male / Female] [Male] I'm afraid of wanting too much [Female] I'm afraid you'll disappear [Male] I'm afraid of what comes later [Female] Theory's always kinder than years [Chorus | Together] In time Maybe something else becomes possible No promises we don't understand No forever drawn into the sand In time We don't have to name what's happening You don't have to lose what came before A heart can hold a little more [Bridge | stripped back | alternating] [Female] Don't turn me into tragedy Because I've learned what leaving means [Male] Don't turn us into romance Just because there's something underneath [Female] We're not a problem to be solved [Male] We're not a question needing proof [Female] We're partners [Male] Friends [Female] And maybe... [Both | quiet] Something more In time [Instrumental lift | short] [Final Chorus | Together | wider] In time Maybe something else becomes possible No promises we don't understand Just your hand close enough to my hand In time Let the old and new live side by side Nothing that mattered has to disappear Just because we're standing here In time Every broken thing can carry on Changed, rebuilt, but still its own Maybe hearts can do the same [Outro | Female] You don't have to promise me forever [Male] I don't have to understand tonight [Female] Stay beside me while we're learning [Both] And we'll leave the rest... [Female, almost spoken] In time
