Inspiration:

When you get close to someone, you inevitably open yourself up to that person. This song is about knowing that person is slipping away, and feeling helpless because there is nothing you can do about it.

Lyrics:

You are alone inside a heart where its strings are tied
You fear control just like the one you tried to leave behind
You act like you don’t know that I have not died
You don’t know

Chorus:
Woah, woah, I’m reaching for a thing that’s gone
Slipped through my fingers
Oh, oh, wish I could touch that moment’s gone
Slipped through my fingers

You laugh loudly now, but underneath you’re afraid
You have forgotten how you still have ones from which you came
You don’t know about the dreams I have when I’m awake
You are drifting

Chorus

I don’t know where this is going
And I convince myself I don’t care
But the truth is we’re parting and you won’t look back

Chorus
