i'd been to the end of hope

been trapped inside, staring out the window

alone, it's hard, only echoes on the boulevard

and the desolation tears in two

nobody on the road

nobody on the beach

i feel it in the air

we met at the end of night

i held you in my ears, a whisper like the sunrise

just our voices crossing on the radio waves

but for the moment

all of the time still

passing by

i stood in the doorway

i stared at the freeway

what a beautiful thing we tried

and for a while it was alright n

with love i would come undone

opened eyes to fear, convinced i was the only one

to know true pain, to feel it and to fight to remain

in every moment

with all of the time still

passing by

i froze in an instant, you felt it as distance

you were right

and in the moment

all of the time still

passing by

we tried to make meaning

our moment was leaving

but it was care, it was dignified

and for a while it was right

nobody on the road

nobody on the beach

i feel it in the air

the summer's out of reach

we'd already said goodbye

but we were hanging 'round, just white noise on the other side

suspense, dead air, not here and not yet there

our forever stuck between sight and sound
