Your shadow lingers on the floor A ghost that doesn’t knock on my door I reach for air it slips through my hand You’re the ocean I’m the dry land Fingers trace the memory’s edge A fading spark a broken pledge You’re the one that got away Slipped through time like night through day The one I lost the one I crave You’re the one that I can’t save Your name’s a whisper in the static hum A song unsung where echoes come I try to catch you in the light But you dissolve into the night You’re the one that got away Slipped through time like night through day The one I lost the one I crave You’re the one that I can’t save Every step forward feels like a rewind Every new face just reminds I’m spinning in circles chasing the haze Your outline blurs but never fades
