[Verse 1]
Coffee gone cold
Ticket stub in my coat
Every bus that I chase
Pulls away from the road
I see your smile
In the glass of the door
Hand on the handle
But it closes like before
[Chorus]
Always out of reach
What I’m aching for
Close enough to taste
Slips right past my jaw
Like a hand through smoke
Like a word I can’t speak
This hungry heart
Always out of reach
[Verse 2]
Rent past due
Letter slid on the floor
That “maybe next month”
I’ve heard it before
You’re on that stage
I’m back by the bar
Your eyes sweep the room
But they don’t come this far
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Every time I stretch
Something pulls me back
[violin climbs
Cello holds a low note]
Every step I bet
Stumbles through the cracks
If I ever touch it
Will it disappear on me
Or am I meant to chase
What I never get to keep
[Chorus]
