You only feel the silence when it's loud in your head Only miss the warmth when the feeling's dead You let it drift away like it's nothing at all Now you're reaching out, but there's no one to call You only see the damage when it's already Only chase the shadow when it starts to run You had it in your hands, but you let it fade Now you're tracing back every move you made And it's heavy in your chest now Every word you never said Yeah, it's pulling like a landslide Every step you never left You only try to get in touch when it's too far gone Only sing the right words when the moment's done You only feel that fire when it's burning out Only know what love is when you live without You only reach across when the space is wide Only see the truth when there's nowhere to hide You only try to get in touch when it slips away When it slips away You only hear the echo when the room's gone still Only fight for something when you lose the thrill You thought it would wait, thought it wouldn't change Now you're standing there and it feels so strange You only learn the meaning when it's out of sight Only hold it close in the dead of night Every second wasted coming back around Now you're digging deep, but it can't be found And it's breaking in your voice now Every line you couldn't say Yeah, it's crashing like an ocean Pulling you away You only try to get in touch when it's too far gone Only sing the right words when the moment's done You only feel that fire when it's burning out Only know what love is when you live without You only reach across when the space is wide Only see the truth when there's nowhere to hide You only try to get in touch when it slips away When it slips away If I could turn it back, would it be the same? Or just another version of a different pain Now I'm calling out, but it fades in the air Like you were never really there You only try to get in touch when it's too far gone Only sing the right words when the moment's done You only feel that fire when it's burning out Only know what love is when you live without You only reach across when the space is wide Only see the truth when there's nowhere to hide You only try to get in touch when it slips away When you let it slip away Now you're calling out too late Trying just to get in touchmore
