From Above |
They even looked at each other once |
Across a 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 |
And staying that way forever. |
Most of the time |
It was just near misses, |
Air kisses |
Once in a bookstore, once at a party |
She came in as he was leaving |
And years ago, at the movies, she sat behind him |
A six-thirty showing of 'While You Were Sleeping' |
He never once looked around |
It’s so easy from above |
You can really see it all |
People who belong together |
Lost and sad and small |
But there’s nothing to be done for them |
It doesn’t work that way |
Sure we all have soulmates |
But we walk past them every day |
Oh no And it’s not like they were ever actually unhappy |
In the lives they lived |
He married Martha |
She married Tom |
Just this vague notion that something was wrong |
An ache, an absence, a phantom limb |
An itch that could never be scratched. |
It’s so easy from above |
You can really see it all |
People who belong together |
Lost and sad and small |
But there’s nothing to be done for them |
It doesn’t work that way |
Sure we all have soulmates |
But we walk past them every day |
Oh no Neither of them knew what was going on A strange feeling of never, |
Heartbeats becoming synchronized |
And staying that way forever. |
Who knows whether that’s how it should be Maybe our ghosts live in that vacancy |
Maybe that’s how books get written |
Maybe that’s why songs get sung |
Maybe we owe the unlucky ones |
It’s so easy from above |
You can really see it all |
People who belong together |
Lost and sad and small |
But there’s nothing to be done for them |
It doesn’t work that way |
Sure we all have soulmates |
But we walk past them every day |
Oh no Maybe that’s how books get written |
Maybe that’s why songs get sung |
Maybe we owe the unlucky ones |
Maybe that’s how books get written |
Maybe that’s why songs get sung |
Maybe we owe the unlucky ones |
