Title: Missing Opportunities
(Verse 1)
In the quiet of the night, I cannot sleep
I turn on the kettle for another cup of tea.
There’s something that lies in between.
I return to the place where we used to be.
I reach out my hand for a loose thread
Hoping for you to pull me out of the dread.
I’ve been wondering what you actually said.
While watching the blue’s fading into red.
(Chorus)
Wondering what was, what could have been,
Writing all these songs, have you even seen?
Wondering what was, what could have been,
Do you feel the same, do you think of me?
(Verse 2)
I wonder what you’re doing, where you are tonight,
Do you think of me when the moon is bright?
What do you think about when the stars align?
Is there a connection, or are we just passing time?
So many hours passed, so many miles left behind
both of us are looking for something lost to find
When I look at you, when you look in my eyes,
We watch the world rush by us with past signs.
(Chorus)
Wondering what was, what could have been,
Writing all these songs, have you even seen?
Wondering what was, what could have been,
Do you feel the same, do you think of me?
(Verse 3)
Too many miles apart, to many reasons against
Would you be my mate, would you be my loving friend?
Too many years apart, too many things happened
Trying to give you a hint through a silent comment.
The probability is low. The chance is slim.
The sky gets dark. The light is growing dim.
Climbing up the cliffs, the air is getting thin,
Out of nowhere, there is a loose thread within.
(Bridge)
You are there. And I am here.
As the sun sets, the moon draws near.
Too far away, but you can make a call
Nothing at all, just silence in the hall.
Nothing at all, just the sound of leaves as they fall.
I’ll be here through it all, waiting for your call.
(Chorus 2)
You’re wondering what was, what could have been,
Are you there, am I still here?
Wondering what was, what could have been,
Was it something or was it nothing?
You wonder what is, what can we be?
Do you want to follow me?
You might wonder where this will lead,
Don’t worry, just trust me.
(Outro)
What do you want to tell me – I don’t understand
Time is passing by day by day, chances slip away
Too many opportunities lost, like grains in hand,
Fleeting moments vanish, as night replaces day.
