Two people a few blocks apart, both losing something, neither one knowing
the other was out there.
He traded his time for a corporate smile and watched it vanish like smoke
in the air. She was turning a key, tired of ghosts, still waiting on the
one big chance that kept not coming. Two lines crossing on a faded map,
both of them hoping to bridge the gap, counting the cost of the lonely
years.
The song doesn't argue that the hard part was worth it - it just looks
back and notices the shape. Every heartbreak, every detour, every dream
that almost died was pointing the same direction the whole time. By the
last verse the wreckage is cleared, the boxes are stacked ten feet high,
and two strangers with a second chance are folding blankets and getting
caught up in a glance.
