lyrics

In the densest cities in the busiest parts
Sometimes the traffic noise gets so loud
Amidst the clap and thunder of SUVs
There isn’t room for romance
Two birds can’t even hear the love calls they’re singing out

I don’t know what I would do
If that was me missing you
Singing my heart out but never getting through
If that was me missing you, missing you

On the tallest mountains at the highest peaks
Sometimes compassion is thinner than air
Amidst a sudden flurry of summer snow
She focuses on the goal
And doesn’t see the stumbled footsteps she passes by

I don’t know what I would do
If that was me missing you
Reaching the summit but never knowing the truth
If that was me missing you, missing you

In the constellations in every person’s night sky
Some people say that our fate is inscribed
Do you believe that our fate is inscribed?
And in the horoscope that he read that day
It said the same, but it wouldn’t give him a name
Above his head, as he read shot a shooting star

I don’t know what I would do
If that was me missing you
Shooting through life but never catching my cue
If that was me missing you, missing you

If that was me missing you
Singing my heart out but never getting through
If that was me missing you, missing you

Simple is safe, but complex is fiery, intricate, and ultimately more rewarding. ... more
