You only feel it when it's lost Getting through still has a cost
Quietly, it slips through your fingers love Falling from you drop by drop
What I had left here I just held it tight So someone with your eyes
Might come in time To hold me like water Or Christ Hold me like a knife
* We're born at night So much of our lives Is just carving through the dark
To get so far And the hardest part Is who we are It's who we are
You and I burned out our steam Chasing someone else's dream
How can something be so much heavier But so much less than what it seems
Darling we sacrificed We gave our time to something undefined
This phantom life It sharpens like an image But it sharpens like a knife
( * )
You only feel it when it's lost Getting through still has its cost
Quietly, it slips through your fingers love Falling from you drop by drop
