Through a Screen

Missing Link

Verse 1

We were two people on opposite sides,

Living completely different lives.

Then somehow our paths crossed anyway,

Through a screen on an ordinary day.

We started talking, losing track of time,

Finding pieces of ourselves in the other's mind.

You made the distance disappear,

And somehow you felt so close from here.

Pre-Chorus

I never knew a person so far away

Could feel this close to me.

Now every mile between us

Is all I wish I couldn't see.

Chorus

I remember that fateful day,

The one that brought us together,

For the first time.

We clicked instantly,

You were my missing link in the line.

But now you're gone, and I can't stop

Remembering the time I had with you.

Every little laugh, every word you said,

Still reminds me how much I love you.

Verse 2

We have our little jokes nobody understands,

Late-night conversations, wishing we could hold hands.

Talking until we're tired, but neither wants to go,

Because saying goodnight just makes the distance show.

We talk about the places we'll see someday,

All the little things we'll finally get to say.

I don't doubt that we'll get there in time,

I just wish the road between us wasn't so damn wide.

Pre-Chorus

Because I don't want a memory,

I want another day with you.

I want to hear your voice beside me,

Not through a screen like I always do.

Chorus

I remember that fateful day,

The one that brought us together,

For the first time.

We clicked instantly,

You were my missing link in the line.

But now you're gone, and I can't stop

Remembering the time I had with you.

Every little laugh, every word you said,

Still reminds me how much I love you.

Verse 3

Sometimes I catch myself imagining

What it'd feel like if you were here.

No countdowns, no different time zones,

No wishing you were standing near.

I'd probably laugh at something stupid,

You'd probably make fun of me.

And I'd take those little moments

Over any grand fantasy.

Because I don't need something perfect,

I just want something real.

I want to sit beside you

And finally know how it feels.

Pre-Chorus

I know these miles are temporary,

Even when they feel so long.

Because if loving you can cross them,

Maybe they were never that strong.

Chorus

I remember that fateful day,

The one that brought us together,

For the first time.

We clicked instantly,

You were my missing link in the line.

But now you're gone, and I can't stop

Remembering the time I had with you.

Every little laugh, every word you said,

Still reminds me how much I love you.

And even when I miss you,

I know you're still right here.

Just a little farther away

Than I wish you were.

Bridge

If I could have one more day,

I'd spend it right beside you.

No phone between our hands,

No miles we have to fight through.

I'd look at you and laugh

At how long we waited for this.

All those nights of missing you

Would lead to one perfect kiss.

And maybe we don't know exactly

Where every road will go,

But I know I want to find out

As long as we're together on it.

So let the distance test us,

Let the miles stretch wide.

I'll keep choosing you

From my side of the divide.

Final Chorus

I remember that fateful day,

The one that brought us together,

For the first time.

We clicked instantly,

You were my missing link in the line.

And even though you're far away,

I still feel so close to you.

Every little laugh, every word you say,

Still gives me something to hold onto.

I don't want to remember you

Like something that I lost.

I want to remember every moment

Until we're finally face to face.

You were my missing link,

The piece that fit where nothing else could.

And no matter how many miles

Stand between me and you,

I'll keep reaching for the day

When I don't have to miss you anymore.

Outro

I remember that fateful day...

The day our stories crossed.

I didn't know when I met you

How much you'd come to mean to me.

You're not gone.

You're just far away.

And someday,

I won't have to say that anymore.

You were my missing link...

And you still are.
