Lyrics
[Short Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Faded photographs, echoes of our past,
C-cigarette smoke, shadows that we cast (cast).
Empty promises, whisper in the dark,
W-we were fireflies, lost our only spark (spark).
Bruised and broken hearts, bleeding in the rain,
C-chorus of our pain, haunted by the strain (strain).
Memories like ghosts, dancing through the night,
W-we were so alive, now we’re losing sight (sight).
[Catchy Hook]
And all we ever wanted was the truth, just a little light,
S-soaked in our illusions, trying to feel alright (alright).
Running from the shadows, chasing yesterday,
H-holding on to fragments, slipping away (away).
[Verse 2]
Midnight conversations, echoes in the hall,
C-colors fade to grey, we had it all (all).
Broken glass and whispers, shattered in our hands,
W-we were once so close, now we're different lands (lands).
Silent screams and heartache, drowning in the tears,
C-caught in endless cycles, facing all our fears (fears).
Lost in our reflections, mirrors show the scars,
W-we were once together, now we’re worlds apart (apart).
[Catchy Hook]
And all we ever wanted was the truth, just a little light,
S-soaked in our illusions, trying to feel alright (alright).
Running from the shadows, chasing yesterday,
H-holding on to fragments, slipping away (away).
[Melancholic Interlude]
[Verse 3]
Polaroid memories, fading with the years,
C-colors washed away, drowned in all our fears (fears).
Lost in the illusion, caught in endless dreams,
W-we were shooting stars, now we’re split at seams (seams).
Burning bridges behind us, nowhere left to go,
C-caught in endless cycles, tides that ebb and flow (flow).
Hoping for a savior, drowning in the sea,
W-we were once so close, now we’re breaking free (free).
[Catchy Hook]
And all we ever wanted was the truth, just a little light,
S-soaked in our illusions, trying to feel alright (alright).
Running from the shadows, chasing yesterday,
H-holding on to fragments, slipping away (away).
[Big Finish]
And maybe in another life, we’ll find a way to stay,
C-chasing all the dreams we lost, fighting through the grey (grey).
But until then, we’re memories, echoes in the night,
W-we were once so vibrant, now we fade from sight (sight).
[End]
So let’s run, make a great escape,
A-and I’ll be waiting outside for the getaway (getaway).
It doesn’t matter who we are, we’ll keep running through the dark,
A-and all we’ll ever need is another day (day).
[Fade Out]
W-we can slow down 'cause tomorrow is a mile away,
A-and live like shooting stars, 'cause happy endings hard to fake (fake).
But until then, we’re memories, echoes in the night,
We were once so vibrant, now we fade from sight.
[End]
So let’s run, make a great escape,
And I’ll be waiting outside for the getaway.
It doesn’t matter who we are, we’ll keep running through the dark,
and all we’ll ever need is another day.
[Fade Out - Radio Static]
We can slow down 'cause tomorrow is a mile away,
And live like shooting stars, 'cause happy endings hard to fake.
