From Above Lyrics

Cover art for From Above lyrics by Ben Folds

It tells the story of two people who were in relationships with other people and moved around their soulmates and got a couple of stolen moments together "It's been that way forever but most of the time it's just near misses And kisses once at a bookstore, once at a party". And they feel an emptyness they cant explain because they'll never be with their soulmates. But in the end he says "Maybe we are the unlucky ones" emplying that knowing your soulmate/or at least knowing that's what your missing can be worse then never knowing them at all.
