You only feel it when it′s lost

Gettin' through still has a cost

Quietly, it slips through your fingers, loveFalling from you, drop by drop

What I had left here

I just held it tight

So someone with your eyes

Might come in time

To hold me like water

Or Christ, hold me like a knife

We′re born at night

So much to the lives

Is just carvin' through the dark

To get so far

And the hardest part

Is who we are

It's who we are

You and I burned out our steam

Chasing someone else′s dream

How can somethin′ be so much heavier

But so much less than what it seems?

Darling, we sacrificed

We gave our time to somethin' undefined

This phantom life sharpens like an image

But it sharpens like a knife

We′re born at night

So much of our life

Is just carvin' through the dark

To get so far

And the hardest part

Is who we are

That′s who we are

You only feel it when it's lost

Gettin′ through still has its cost

Quietly, it slips through your fingers, love

Fallin' from you, drop by drop
