Lyric

Hello…

…lo…

…lo…

Still arriving

You answer seconds after me

Like time forgot our symmetry

I send a thought, it drifts in space

Returns to me with your erased

We’re offset in a subtle way

A fraction slipping through the day

I speak in now, you hear in then

We try to meet but miss again

We’re never wrong

Just never now

We almost touch

But not somehow

We are the latency of us

A space between the touch and trust

I feel you late

You feel me slow

We’re always where we were ago

Now…

Now…

Not now…

Your laughter lands when mine is gone

A broken sync we lean upon

We call it close, we call it near

But every moment isn’t here

We build a bridge of afterthoughts

A timeline tangled into knots

And in the gap we choose to stay

Pretending time won’t slip away

We bend the clock

We blur the cue

We stay apart

To feel like two

We are the latency of us

A space between the touch and trust

I feel you late

You feel me slow

We’re always where we were ago

Say it now

…now…

…now…

I’m here—

…here…

…here…

Almost aligned

Almost alive

We are the latency of us

No moment ever synchronous

I feel you late

You feel me slow

We never reach the present flow

We almost meet

We almost do

Forever almost

Me and you
