[Intro: Synthesizer & Ambient Drone]
[Build]
[Verse 1]
Thirty thousand feet above the sound gone still
Your reflection on the glass, against the sky
The mountains know the sea, the water knows the shore
But I never learned the language in your eyes
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Chorus]
We were always flying solo, even side by side
Even when your pulse was resonating through me
There’s no bridge across the distance locked inside
You were you, and I was only ever me
[Verse 2]
I can trace the shoreline, every inlet, every bay
The pilots call our heading from afar
But all those nights I held you, I was continents away
You were close enough to touch and still too far
[Build]
[Chorus]
We were always flying solo, even side by side
Even when your pulse was resonating through me
There’s no bridge across the distance locked inside
You were you, and I was only ever
[Bridge]
And maybe that’s the ache that makes us beautiful
Two separate engines humming through the cold
The truth that no one teaches till you’re dutiful:
We’re each alone in everything we know
