Blink and you're gone (version 2)

Verse 1

Blink and you're gone like a sunbeam through the blinds

One second you're here and the next it's left behind

Candle smoke curling slow where your shadow used to be

I'm searching for a ghost in this empty room with me

Pre-Chorus

Tell me can you see what I see

Is that your smile caught in the light of a thousand memories?

Are we still moving or are we just standing still?

Can you feel it like I do, this one feeling that never will

Chorus

Hold my hand through the open door

Blink and I'll be gone before you know what's more

We were chasing the same sun but we took different turns tonight

Hold my hand through the open door and let our hearts take flight

Verse 2

Your laughter echoes in the hallway where we used to laugh together

The streetlamp's yellow glow is trying to hold onto what's gone, I'm not sure when

Every stranger passing by looks like a shadow of you that I've never known

I keep expecting the crowd to part and show me which one is true

Pre-Chorus

Tell me can you see what I see

Is that your smile caught in the light of a thousand memories?

Are we still moving or are we just standing still?

Can you feel it like I do, this one feeling that never will

Chorus

Hold my hand through the open door

Blink and I'll be gone before you know what's more

We were chasing the same sun but we took different turns tonight

Hold my hand through the open door and let our hearts take flight

Bridge

Maybe the light doesn't fade when it moves past your eyes

Maybe it just changes color, maybe it just gets higher in the sky

So hold on tight to what's left of this one second time

I'll be right here beside you until the next goodbye

Chorus

Hold my hand through the open door

Blink and I'll be gone before you know what's more

We were chasing the same sun but we took different turns tonight

Hold my hand through the open door and let our hearts take flight
