Pray in One Breath

We were never meant to meet Different stars, different streets Drawn on paper, side by side Never crossing, never collide I believed in gravity Rules that kept you far from me But something broke that night When your shadow touched mine They said don’t believe in signs Don’t trust sparks that pass you by But I felt the universe pause When you looked into my eyes Parallel lines, out of control Just for a second, we lost our roles If this moment fades away It was still real, I’ll still say In a world that said “never you” There was one mistake that came true If miracles only last a breath That breath was you, nothing else No forever, no promises Just your hand, my fingertips Every step against the rules Every heartbeat breaking through I don’t need a happy end I don’t need to make it make sense If the night decides to end I’ll remember how it felt They call it reckless love I call it honest enough If this is where it dies At least it lived tonight Parallel lines, out of control Just for a second, we lost our roles If this moment fades away It was still real, I’ll still say In a world that said “never you” There was one mistake that came true If miracles only last a breath That breath was you, nothing else I don’t need a reason why I don’t need the stars aligned All I know is here and now You were real, and I’m not sorry Parallel lines crossed once, then gone Still changed me, still went on If love is just a flash of light You were mine that single night
