Face to face and miles away
As we watch each other fade
Across a long expanding space
The painless severing was slow
Not a reason not a sound
We may never even know
The sand we're standing on
In time will all be gone
This is
The closest
We will ever be
It's further every day but this is
The closest
We will ever be
We won't know 'til it's too late
Shedding skin we slowly turn
Into the strangers we once were
All without a single word
Bloodless, not even a tear
For the passing of a year
And the dreams we buried here
The sand has slipped away
An empty glass remains
The sand has slipped away
(The sand has slipped away)
An empty glass remains
This is
The closest
We will ever be
It's further every day but this is
The closest
We will ever be
We won't know 'til it's too late
And when I finally awake
I hope I feel it
And when I finally awake
I hope it hurts like it should
I hope it hurts like it would
If part of my heart was taken
Hope I feel like I would
If I knew it never would heal
Tell me why can't I feel it?
The pain remains frozen
My eyes remains closed
And I can't know that
This is the closest
The closest
(That we will ever be)
This is the closest
The closest
And it's further every day
We won't 'til it's too late
The sand has slipped away
This empty glass remains
