Little farther apart
Than when we started out
Feeling strangely alive
Now what’s that all about
Give it time, take in stride
Have your eyes meet mine
Reaching outside of time
Trying to find that thread

To stitch our lives into
Something else
That requires me and you
To be alone
But together, see it through
Draw a line connecting two
A throughline from me to you

Waiting however long
It takes to come back down
Living forever young
Until you hit the ground
Falling off, misaligned
Lost yourself to time
Insofar as you are
You’re all inside your head

That stitched our lives into
Something else
That requires me and you
To be alone
But together, see it through
Draw a line connecting two
Throughline from me to you
Where to from here
When there ain’t no breaking through
Without conceding
To the one who’s hurting you
Lost the love
Buried too deep to undo
The scars you hid and yet they grew

They lost the throughline
