How could I miss you if never met you If that road turned some other way and never looked back?
There's a feeling, overwhelming, like I couldn't belong Without this point of contact; everything would be wrong Stop motion on the ceiling, skipped frames, and I'm forgetting the in-between
When the world is spinning and I am standing still, When the world comes apart and I'm standing still, you flicker If I never knew what I'd lost, you flicker And I turn around and you're gone? You flicker
A moment lost, is not so eas'ly found If that glance turned some other way and never looked back?
There's a feeling, overwhelming, this is where I belong This melody, inseparable from singing the song I'm floating on the feeling, skipped beats and I'm forgetting the in-between
When the world is spinning and I am standing still When the world comes apart and I'm standing still.... You flicker
If I never knew what I've lost (you flicker) And I turn around, and you're gone (you flicker)
If you turn left and I turn right Would the curves of the earth Bring our paths back to cross again
Would I trust fate To bring back the tide Or would I dive head first To feel you on my skin
(You flicker)
If I never knew what I've lost (you flicker) And I turn around, and you're gone (you flicker)
When the world is spinning and I am standing still (you flicker) When the world comes apart and I'm standing still (you flicker)
