Verse 1 (whispered, close-mic) I see you cross the room again Same old story, same old when The clock keeps stealing what we've got Right at the moment — it goes and stops Pre-Chorus So close, I feel your breath on mine Then something pulls you out of time We reach — we miss — it's happened twice Are we the ones who pay the price? Chorus You've always been just out of reach A promise I can't quite believe Every time we get so near Something calls you out of here But I've been waitin' for my time Waitin' for the stars to align One day you'll be standin' still And I'll be there — I know I will Verse 2 (whispered) Another night, another door You slip away like nights before I count the ways the world says no But somethin' in me won't let go Pre-Chorus So close, I feel your breath on mine Then something pulls you out of time We reach — we miss — it's happened twice Are we the ones who pay the price? Chorus You've always been just out of reach A promise I can't quite believe Every time we get so near Something calls you out of here But I've been waitin' for my time Waitin' for the stars to align One day you'll be standin' still And I'll be there — I know I will Hook (Tag) (strip to gated drum machine + pulsing synth bass only) Out of reach... (synth stab) Out of reach... (synth stab) But I know — I know I will Out of reach... (synth stab) Out of reach... (synth stab) But I know — I know I will Bridge (stripped back, sparse synth) Maybe timing's just a test Maybe waiting is the rest Before the moment we deserve Comes 'round to meet us, right on curve Final Chorus (key change, full band) You've always been just out of reach But I believe — I still believe Every mile that keeps us apart Is closing in around my heart 'Cause I've been waitin' for my time Waitin' for the stars to align One day you'll be standin' still And I'll be there — I know I will I'll be there — I know I will
