A Second Lasts a Second Lyrics

A second lasts a second
Now I'm hours away
I'm swimming back through summers
The miles in one arm's length
A minute lasts a lifetime
Now I'm years away
Running backwards to pull the stray hair from your wake
When you're in the basement reaching for the light
Do you still see me in the corner of your eye
Was I worth it, were we immortal once?

Or did the second guesses get to you and now you've changed your name
Inside the wavelength, there's still space
A pulse that pauses but just won't break
Inside a second there's still space
A pulse that falters but just won't break
I'm only a lookout
Never chose my class
A constant reminder
I'm lost in the pack
But I'm betting on misfits
To spark in the night
Brilliantly clueless
Could you pull to the side
Inside the wavelength, there's still space
A pulse that pauses but just won't break
Inside a second, there's still space
A pulse that falters but just won't break
