Ben Folds - From Above

They even looked at each other
once across a crowded bar
He was with Martha
she was with Tom
Neither of them really
knew what was going on
Strange feeling of never
Heartbeats becoming synchronized
and staying that way forever
Most of the time it was
just near misses
Air kisses once at a bookstore
once at a party
She came in as he was leaving
And years ago at the movies
she sat behind him
A 6:30 showing of
While You Were Sleeping
He never once looked around
It's so easy from above
You can really see it all
People who belong together
Lost and sad and small
But there's nothing to be
done for them
It doesn't work that way
Sure we all have soulmates but
we walk past them every day oh no
And it's not like they were ever
actually unhappy in the
lives they lived
He married Martha she married Tom
Just this vague notion that
something was wrong
A naked absence a phantom limb
An itch that could
never be scratched
It's so easy from above
You can really see it all
People who belong together
Lost and sad and small
But there's nothing to be
done for them
It doesn't work that way
Sure we all have soulmates but
we walk past them every day oh no
Neither of them knew
what was going on
A strange feeling of never
Heartbeats becoming synchronized
And staying that way forever
Who knows whether
that's how it should be
Maybe our ghosts live in
that vacancy
Maybe that's how books get written
Maybe that's why songs get sung
Maybe we owe the unlucky ones
It's so easy from above
You can really see it all
People who belong together
Lost and sad and small
But there's nothing to be
done for them
It doesn't work that way
Sure we all have soulmates but
we walk past them every day oh no
Maybe that's how books get written
Maybe that's why songs get sung
Maybe we owe the unlucky ones
Maybe that's how books get written
Maybe that's why songs get sung
Maybe we owe the unlucky ones

I am getting over a cold. Which may explain the inhumanly low notes. Ben Folds is chill. Word.
