Heartbeats of a Different Time

It's about long-distance relationships and all the drawback/positives involved

And we're stepping in time

Though we're both staring into an empty space

We're living on the same page

Of a different novel

Our hearts begin to beat as one

Though the echo dies across the miles

I'm weighing up the good and the bad

Seeing if any of this is worth my while

Let's just sit here forever

And wonder why our fates could've been kinder

Your face, finally in view

Makes me smile, But should I believe her

One time we'll take a shot

And suspend our respective realities

In the short term there's only bitter loneliness 

In the future there's a light

I'll carry your fractured soul to it's righteous home

Though I cannot promise the world

I cannot promise anything but a kiss

Or perhaps empty-headed dreams

The laughter and the fear

The fear of something new

Of a love that arrived far too soon

And nothing good will come of this

Or is there a different path

Escape our respective destinies 

And face it all with a laugh
