I only saw her for a second
Just a flash, an apparition
A dream that I would **** myself to see again
I've never wanted to hold onto something so badly
And she was the most intangible thing I've ever touched
Like alcohol, running through my finger and evaporating at the same time
Gone more quickly than she came
Maybe she was salvation and I just missed my chance
Maybe if I close my eyes more tightly and wish harder
Or maybe she's just gone
I'm not a safe harbour
I've got no light to bring her back to me
I hope she thinks to turn around, all on her own
I'll be waiting for her, if she does, arm outstretched
Or if something better comes along
