Lost in the Fading Light (version 2)

Verse

Steam rises slow off the rim of my cup

The neon sign is dying its blue

Your fingers brush mine in a quiet touch

And we watch it fade as one with you

Faded hum of the coffee machine

Brewing a second cup for us still

Soft jazz drifts through like an old friend's tone

Reminding me how this silence fills

Pre-Chorus

Hold on to the light that we find

In the shadow, let it bind

Chorus

Lost in the fading light, I lose myself in you

Lost in the fading light, I find my way back too

Every breath you take pulls me deeper tonight

Lost in the fading light, and nothing's gone

Your hand on mine is where I begin to see

That we can be free from this dying melody

Verse

Speckles of dust dance off your shoulder blade

Coffee rings still warm on the Formica

You turn my wrist so that the neon glows

And your eyes tell me all the words you won't say

A cup is half drained, but not yet done

The barista nods and takes it slow through

Every second we share feels like a hundred won

In this quiet moment, I don't know how

Pre-Chorus

Hold on to the light that we find

In the shadow, let it bind

Chorus

Lost in the fading light, I lose myself in you

Lost in the fading light, I find my way back too

Every breath you take pulls me deeper tonight

Lost in the fading light, and nothing's gone

Your hand on mine is where I begin to see

That we can be free from this dying melody

Bridge

Don't look at your watch or ask me to go

This clock outside it just doesn't matter now

It's only two a.m. but you're the one

Not the minutes that made us come so far

Chorus

Lost in the fading light, I lose myself in you

Lost in the fading light, I find my way back too

Every breath you take pulls me deeper tonight

Lost in the fading light, and nothing's gone

Your hand on mine is where I begin to see

That we can be free from this dying melody

Outro

Lost in the fading light

And not a single minute wrong

Still your hand in mine and let it glow

In the fading light
