Straightforward love but it's parallel lines
You're the way the stars leave when the city lights shine and I'm right downtown
You're nowhere to be found
You're as bright as the moon from the airplane window, spotlight on the wing on the long flight home
But on the ground is where I stand now
How can I wait for you when your clocks are all broken
But how can I know we're through when the windows stay open
If I had more than one life I'd spend it with you
But I can't waste this one if you don't want to
You're twelve in a million
But I can't help feeling like we're the only people in the world tonight
You're my best-known stranger
But if your sooner is later, maybe we're meant to be in another life
Music to your ears but it's in the background
You won't lend me a hand but I'll stick my neck out
So, when your ship goes down
Do I have to stay and drown
'Cause your lowest point just becomes a plane
And neither one is the one to blame
But we'll burn that bridge when we get to it
And when you bleed you gotta keep that knife in
Got the space that you needed
Is it what you needed
Did you ever need me at all
At all
You're twelve in a million
But I can't help feeling like we're the only people in the world tonight
You're my best-known stranger
But if your sooner is later, maybe we're meant to be in another life
