Ships in the night

We were ships in the night, never could see eye to eye
As time went by I lost you, you were out of sight
If only the timing were right or maybe if the stars aligned
There'd be not goodbyes, could've kept riding that high

I wish I had a dime for
All of the times
When I dreamt that you'd be mine
For all of the lies and the sad sad sighs
For when I told myself it'll be alright

Now since you're going away

Would you hold me once again?
So tight you'd crack my shell
Let me take a second to memorize your smell

Would you kiss me on my cheek?
Before you turn your head to leave
I guess we all learn to handle the bittersweet

We were ships in the night I wish I knew why
Would it be so bad if I held you and let time go by?

I wish I had a dime for
All of the times
When I dreamt that you'd be mine
For all of the lies and the sad sad sighs
When I told myself it'll be alright

Now since you're going away

Would you hold me once again?
So tight you'd crack my shell
Let me take a second to memorize your smell

Would you kiss me on my cheek?
Before you turn your head to leave
I guess we all learn to handle the bittersweet
