So near, so far

A fleeting flash across the night,

a whisper in the dark

You come back like a comet,

reigniting that lost spark

But every time you fly so high,

I hesitate to leap

Caught in the orbit of love,

afraid of the fall so deep (so deep - so far)

Once you were my sky, my brightest star in view

Left me in the dawn, with skies too gray and blue

You circle in my mind,

a celestial dance so slight

A momentary flash, then gone into the night

(So deep - oh so far)

Every time you come around,

I feel the pull again

A cosmic reunion, but I brace for the pain

Will I take the chance or let you drift away?

Caught between the love I need and the fears I say

You're the one that got away,

a comet in my sky

Burning bright (oh so fucking bright)

then fading fast,

so elusive,

so high (oh so high)

Maybe this time I’ll leap,

Reach for the burning plane

Or stay on the ground,

watch you burn bright again

(Oh it burns so hard -so deep)

(So fast)

Your exit’s so sudden, like the night’s cold wind

A reminder of the love that I’d only just begun

You come back in a blaze,

lights flicker and ignite

But the fear of the fall keeps me from the flight

Every time you circle close,

I hope you'll stay a while

But my hesitation holds me back in denial

Do I chase the comet or let it just disappear?

cling to the hope, or surrender to fear?

You're the one that got away,

a comet in my sky

Burning bright, (so bright)

then fading fast,

so elusive,

so high (so fucking high)

Maybe this time I’ll leap,

reach for the burning plane

Or stay on the ground,

watch you burn bright again

Luminous and fleeting,

I wait for your return

A dance of shadows,

Love’s eternal burn

But the leap’s so heavy,

the risk so vast

Will I hold on tight or let you pass?

You come back like a comet,

a flash in the night

Maybe someday I’ll leap,

embrace the light

Until then I’ll watch,

with hope and with fear

The one that got away,

still so near

(So fucking near - so deep)
