If Heavens Open Once

Your voice still lives in the cracks of my walls
Your sweater hangs, untouched in the hall
I reach for you in the middle of dreams
But wake to find you've slipped downstream
If there's a bridge the crows could build
I'd cross it even if time stood still
One step, I'd trade the rest of years
Just to hold you once through the tears
You're on a side I can't break through
The stars are closer than I am to you
I'd tear the sky, I'd burn the moon
If it meant I could find you soon
Better to meet for a fleeting while
Than live a life without your smile
I'd rather be the bridge we cross
Than live forever in this loss
The nights are long, and the clocks don't care
Every hour tastes like the weight of air
I talk to shadows, pretend it's you
Tell them things I could never do
If love can stretch beyond the ground
I'll send it where you can be found
Through every void the dark has made
Till the colors come back to stay
You're on a side I can't break through
The stars are closer than I am to you
I'd tear the sky, I'd burn the moon
If it meant I could find you soon
Better to meet for a fleeting while
Than live a life without your smile
I'd rather be the bridge we cross
Than live forever in this loss
They say the living should let go
But how can I, when you still glow?
If the heavens open once a year
I'll be there, and I'll wait right here
You're on a side I can't break through
But every road still leads to you
I'd tear the sky, I'd burn the moon
If it meant I could find you soon
Better one day than none at all
Better one touch than endless fall
I'd rather be the bridge we cross
Than live forever in this loss
Forever in this loss
