Verse
C
At our distance
Em
Our minds intertwine

Oh, there's a way to listen

Instead of finding every route around
D
The solution that I've found

So when your walls begin to break

Am I the catalyst?

Come out unscathed

Trying to make the best

For both of us

Will you be mine

If I let you go?

The second that you turn to leave

I finally start to see

I hold my breath and count my Z's

And wait here patiently

Em D
It's just my luck that's down
C
The day that I met her

The day that I fell

Next time I'll think before I lose, before I lose a friend

Between the silence and my own

When the timers ticking

Questioning into states of reflection

What could you do
Em D
If I asked you
