Cross Forever

I found your glove beneath the station clock One silver thread caught in the turning lock The calendar said you vanished years ago But your warm fingerprints still marked the glass below I ran past rooms that folded into blue Every door returned me closer to you In one hand, yesterday kept burning bright In the other, this moment refused to die If time can break, then let it break my name I'll cross each fracture, I'll relight the flame Past in my left hand, now in my right I lose you in darkness, I find you in light I'll cross forever to reach you again Through every beginning, each ending, each when If all of the heavens erase where you are I'll tear through the distance and follow your scar Again and again, though the whole world comes loose I'll spend every lifetime arriving at you You call from the edge where the lost hours bend I'll cross forever to save you again Your photograph changed faces in the rain A child, then a stranger, then you once again I learned every silence between your breaths The shape of your leaving, the weight of your death A red train thundered through an empty year I stepped aboard because I heard you near One hand held the morning we never outgrew One hand held the future still waiting for you Let gravity loosen its grip on the floor I'll open the instant and ask for one more Past in my left hand, now in my right I lose you in darkness, I find you in light I'll cross forever to reach you again Through every beginning, each ending, each when If all of the heavens erase where you are I'll tear through the distance and follow your scar Again and again, though the whole world comes loose I'll spend every lifetime arriving at you You call from the edge where the lost hours bend I'll cross forever to save you again Maybe the universe remembers our touch Maybe one second can still hold this much If I arrive trembling, if I arrive late Keep one small window unsealed by fate I'll cross forever, I'm coming for you Past every version of what we once knew Let all of the centuries shatter and rise I'll climb through the fire behind your eyes Again and again, let the old worlds descend I'll spend every heartbeat to find you again You call from the edge where the lost hours bend I'll cross forever to save you again In the first little room where the clocks disappear You turn, and the future is suddenly here
