Trajectories

(album: Columbo - 2023)

We both see the moonlight, the same shade of blue
We both like to start things and not see them through
Two hopeless romantics from a bygone era
I've come to realize, you're bygone too

There are places to go, wonders to see
I had hope in my bones you would see them with me
I thought you were my person, the one I would keep
'Cause the love I have for you
It runs through me deep

Though it could still work out differently
For now, this is the way that it has to be
Though we're the same person, unfortunately
We're on our own trajectories

We both like old movies in black and white
How I long for the times we would watch them at night
In those little moments, I knew you were mine
You needn't tell me, I know it crossed your mind

And I learnt my lesson, I learned the hard way
That real love is selfless, sounds like something you'd say
But as long as you're happy then I'm happy too
And the hurt that I feel will remind me of you

Though it could still work out differently
For now, this is the way that it has to be
Though we're the same person, unfortunately
We're on our own trajectories
