Falling Through the Night

I saw you walking past the skyline I ran to catch the fading glow You were laughing next to someone brighter My chest sank lower than I know I told myself to breathe a little Focus on the stars, not on the pain Then I caught the moment turn to something And it pulled me back to you again Falling through the night, can’t you see me here? Every shadow bending close to where you disappear Falling through the night, I can feel you near I can’t undo the pull, but I’m still holding dear You whispered, “Time will change the story” I smiled, but the ache stayed true I thought I could forget tomorrow But everything returns to you Falling through the night, your hand’s just out of reach Every step I try to take dissolves like sand on the beach Falling through the night, the echo’s in my mind I trace the path we almost took, the one we left behind I was steady until the moment Your gaze cut sharp across the room I felt the pull of your devotion Then all my careful thoughts consumed Falling through the night, I can’t let it go Every glance pulls me where I never thought to show Falling through the night, your presence lingers still I’m caught inside the current, against my own free will
