[Verse 1]
How could I miss you if I never met you
If that road turned another way and never looked back?
There's a feeling overwhelming like I couldn't belong
Without this point of contact everything would be wrong
Stop-motion on the ceiling, skipped frames
And I'm forgetting the in-between

[Pre-Chorus]
When the world is spinning and I am standing still
When the world comes apart and I'm standing still
You flicker

[Chorus]
If I never knew what I'd lost
(You flicker)
And I turn around and you're gone?
(You flicker)

[Verse 2]
A moment lost is not so easily found
If that glance turned some other way and never looked back
There's a feeling overwhelming, this is where I belong
This melody inseparable from singing this song
I'm floating on the feeling
Skipped beats and I'm forgetting the in-between
[Pre-Chorus]
When the world is spinning and I am standing still
When the world comes apart and I'm standing still
You flicker

[Chorus]
If I never knew what I'd lost
(You flicker)
And I turn around and you're gone?
(You flicker)

[Bridge]
If you turned left and I turned right
Would the curves of the earth bring our paths back to cross again?
Would I trust fate to bring back the tide?
Or would I dive headfirst to feel you on my skin?
(You flicker)

[Chorus]
If I never knew what I'd lost
(You flicker)
And I turn around and you're gone?
(You flicker)

When the world is spinning and I am standing still
(You flicker)
When the world comes apart and I'm standing still
(You flicker)
