[Verse 1] I want to touch you but I can’t reach you Only the air between us knows the shape of my hands The night sea erases your outline Dark water softly takes away your form Moonlight falls across the waves Silver lines keep breaking then returning again --- [Pre-Chorus] The fear of losing you casts a shadow The closer I get the darker it grows If I touch you even for a moment there’ll be no way to keep you safe --- [Chorus] I want to touch you but I can’t reach you You’re beyond the waves almost here, never here In the moonlit sea where everything trembles we search for glowing shells like proof of something true “I’m sorry I’ve been lying,” you say it softly I knew, I knew --- [Verse 2] Small white waves gather at my feet Nameless feelings drift around us slowly Your profile is already coming undone The night sea erases what I’m trying to hold We walk and search for glowing shells as if one small shimmer could save us from the dark --- [Pre-Chorus 2] Even before loss there is already sorrow Even before goodbye the shadow has begun Only your voice stays close to me Everything else is taken by the tide --- [Chorus] I want to touch you but I can’t reach you You’re beyond the waves almost gone, still near Each time the moonlight breaks upon the water we search for glowing shells inside the silver foam “I’m sorry I’ve been lying,” you say it softly I knew all along --- [Bridge] If I hold you you might disappear If I let you go you’ll disappear the same The night sea gives no answer Only the moonlight keeps touching the waves --- [Final Chorus] I want to touch you but I can’t reach you Your outline is already dissolving in the sea In this moonlit night soaked in silver water we search for glowing shells until the sky turns pale “I’m sorry I’ve been lying,” still echoes in me I knew, I knew --- [Outro] A glowing shell rests in my hand You are not here but the tide returns
