(verse 1)
They told me not to bother calling you again
Said your heart moved on while i was chasing winds
Said somebody else was sleeping where i used to be
I always knew someday you’d slip away from me
But i see the silence hiding in your eyes
Like you’re living half a life you can’t disguise
And maybe i was gone too long to care
But you still feel me in the air
(pre-chorus)
It’s been a year since i touched your face
Three hundred nights in a different place
You’ve been alone with your thoughts at home
While i made the world my road
(chorus)
But when i get there
You’ll remember why we burned so bright
When i get there
Every shadow turns into light
He can try but he don’t know you like i do
He can hold you but he can’t break through
When i get there
When i get there
(verse 2)
I’ve been living out of suitcases and neon signs
You’ve been sleeping in the quiet of a borrowed life
Maybe he gives you something i never could
Maybe he loves you the way a stranger would
But love from far away is hard to keep alive
When distance steals the warmth you used to hide
Still every mile just brings me closer there
Back to the echo that we share
(pre-chorus)
I’ve learned expectations break a fragile heart
Two lonely people drifting worlds apart
But even in this frozen atmosphere
You’re still the reason i appear
(chorus)
When i get there
You’ll remember why we burned so bright
When i get there
Every shadow turns into light
He can try but he don’t know you like i do
He can touch you but he can’t break through
When i get there
When i get there
(bridge)
Maybe this world just turned too cold for us
Maybe we ran from things we couldn’t trust
But even if it’s only for tonight
I still believe in you and i
(chorus 2)
When i get there
You’ll remember every word we said
When i get there
All the ghosts inside your head
He can try but he can’t take my place
Not the fire
Not the space
When i get there
When i get there
(outro)
When i get there
When i get there1
