Separate lives

You’re lying on your bed

I’m pacing by the window

We built a little house

Out of what-ifs and I-think

You trace my face in silence

I furnish your every thought

We’re walking through our future

Across a glowing screen

We spend hours on the phone

Living in the life we never get to share

Same dream

Two beds

Same words in different heads

Baby

In my mind you’re mine

But in the daylight we rewind

We’re together every night

And in the morning

Separate lives

You tell me ’bout your morning

I tell you ’bout my dreams

We talk all night long

Then plan our nights around your days.

I see you in the rearview

Reflected in the glass

You laugh and I can feel it

But I can’t touch it back (oh)

We spend hours on the phone

Living in the life we never get to hold

Same dream

Two beds

Same words in different heads

Baby

In my mind you’re mine

But in the daylight we rewind

We’re together every night

And in the morning

Separate lives

We say “one day” like a promise

But it hangs there like a star

Close enough to name it

Still too far

If we pressed end and walked toward it

Would it finally feel right?

Or are we only perfect

On the line late at night?

We spend hours on the phone

Living a life we never get to hold together

Same dream

Two beds

Same words in different heads

Baby

In my mind you’re mine

But in the daylight we rewind

We’re together every night

And in the morning

Separate lives

(separate lives, separate lives)
