Hold Your Breath in the Dark (έκδοση 2)

Verse

Six a.m. and the parking lot's still grey

Cigarette smoke hanging on the way we sway

Your jacket draped across the hood of your car

I'm not saying goodbye like I promised before

Just folding up this summer in a coat that smells like you

Coffee cups rattling, ice melted out slow

Radio static where our favorite songs used to go

Pre-Chorus

So tell me is it foolish, is it wrong to feel

This way about the ending of us two years later still

Chorus

I'm not ready to let the light fade away

Not yet, not now, keep the day we had today

Every goodbye's got a silver lining somewhere

So I'll hold my breath and watch you disappear

Into headlights on the highway, gold turning blue

Keep every good thing burning long enough for me to learn it too

Verse 2

Your thumb prints still warm where mine used to be

The clock tower's ticking over the college quad

You said drive safe twice before getting in your seat

I said I'd be okay but what does that even mean?

Last night we laughed like nothing could end us

Now the silence feels like it might kill me again

Pre-Chorus

So tell me is it foolish, is it wrong to feel

This way about the ending of us two years later still

Chorus

I'm not ready to let the light fade away

Not yet, not now, keep the day we had today

Every goodbye's got a silver lining somewhere

So I'll hold my breath and watch you disappear

Into headlights on the highway, gold turning blue

Keep every good thing burning long enough for me to learn it too

Bridge

Maybe love doesn't have to last forever to mean something

Maybe just holding on a little longer is the truth we need

Not that I want another three years like this one

Just this — right here — before you go, not gone

Chorus

I'm not ready to let the light fade away

Not yet, not now, keep the day we had today

Every goodbye's got a silver lining somewhere

So I'll hold my breath and watch you disappear

Into headlights on the highway, gold turning blue

Keep every good thing burning long enough for me to learn it too
