You only feel it when it's lost Getting through still has a cost Quietly it slips through your fingers Love falling 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 cranes to hold me like a knife We're born at night So much of our life Is just cutting through the dark To get so far And the hardest part It's through the air, it's through the air You and I burned out our steam Chasing someone else's dream How can something be so much heavier But so much less than what it seems Darling, we sacrifice We give our time There's something under fire 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 cutting through the dark To get so far And the hardest part It's through the air, it's through the air Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah You only feel it when it's lost Getting through still has its cost Quietly it slips through your fingers Love falling from you drop by drop
