Another one of theirs that comes to mind is "Audience of One". An excerpt from the middle verse and chorus:

Identities assume us. As 9 and 5 add up. Synchronizing watches to the seconds that we lost. I looked up and saw you, and I know that you saw me. We froze but for a moment... in empathy. I brought down the sky for you and all you did was shrug. You gave my emptiness a name.

Then you ran away. Now all my friends are gone. Maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved. Run away, but what are we running from? A show of hands from those in this audience of one. Where have they gone?
