I watched your coffee going cold While tracing circles on the cup You smiled like everything was fine But neither one of us looked up The train arrived, the doors slid wide You stayed until the warning tone One hand lifted in the crowd The other holding on to hope alone I almost called your name again Instead I let the silence stay It's not the love that's missing It's the miles we cannot move It's the lives already spinning In directions we can't choose If I could rearrange time Shift a season, steal a day Find the road that crossed too early Bend the hours your way Maybe we'd meet with lighter hearts Maybe we'd finally align Not changing who we are Just rearranging time Your scarf was hanging on my chair Three weeks after you'd gone home I never moved it from its place As if leaving it alone I heard your laugh inside my head Buying peaches at the store Funny how the smallest things Can make you miss somebody more We don't need another ending We don't need someone to blame Just a world that turns more slowly Long enough to know our names If I could rearrange time Shift a season, steal a day Find the road that crossed too early Bend the hours your way Maybe we'd meet with lighter hearts Maybe we'd finally align Not changing who we are Just rearranging time I won't promise you'll come back I won't build my life on maybe But somewhere past these crowded years I hope the world is less in a hurry And if another station waits With another winter sky I'll still recognize your eyes Even if we have to pass them by If we ever rearrange time Not by force but by grace Maybe all the little detours Will have led us to one place Till then I'll keep this quiet room And every ordinary sign Believing love can lose today And still arrive on time So I'll leave the light on low For the part of me that's still Learning that forever sometimes Starts by standing still
