from above
They even looked at each other once across the crowded bar
He was with Martha, she was with Tom
Neither of them really knew what was going on
A strange feeling of never, heartbeats becoming synchronized
Its been that way forever but most of the time its just near misses
And kisses once at a bookstore, once at a party
She came in as he was leaving and years ago at the movies
She sat behind him, the 6:30 showing of 'While You Were Sleeping'
He never once looked around
[01:48.32][00:55.87]Its so easy from above
[01:50.95][00 :58.27]You can really see it all
[01:53.38][01:00.69]People who belong together
[01:56.12][01:03.49]Lost and sad and small
[01: 58.39][01:05.78]But theres nothing to be done for them
[02:01.11][01:08.69]It doesnt work that way
[02:03.39][01:10.60]Sure we all have soulmates but we walk
[02:06.44][01:13.63]past them every day
And its not like they were ever
actually unhappy in the lives they lived
He married Martha, she married Tom
Just this fake notion that something was wrong
An ache, an absence, a phantom limb
An itch that could never be scratched
Neither of them knew what was going on
A strange feeling of never,
heartbeats becoming synchronized
Its been that way forever
Who knows whether thats how it should be
Maybe a ghost lived in that vacancy
[03:31.98][03: 01.82]Maybe thats how books get written
[03:34.30][03:04.18]Maybe thats why songs get sung
[03:37.05][03:06.96]Maybe we are the unlucky ones
