Holding onto fading (versione 2)

Verse

Concrete walls still breathing diesel fumes

Taxi headlights paint the empty streets like brushstrokes in chrome

Your jacket's gone but I'm holding onto smoke

Four a.m. static in my chest

Eyes that caught mine across a crowd of strangers

Now they're just a memory in amber and rain

Pre-Chorus

I don't need forever, just one more hour

To keep your laughter echoing through the power

Tell me how do we let go when it feels so real?

Chorus

We were never built to last the morning light

So I'm holding onto fading fast as I can tonight

Every moment's a snapshot of how good this felt

I'm not letting go before the bassline went still

We were never meant to land but that don't matter now

Holding onto fading, fading, hold it somehow

Verse

Raincoat slung around my shoulders like a flag

Streetlight flickers gold then snaps and goes black

Your hand brushed mine in a crowd of faces unknown

That's the closest thing I've got to holding you alone

Bus stop shelter, empty cups and haze

I'm chasing one more second before it fades away

Pre-Chorus

I don't need forever, just one more hour

To keep your laughter echoing through the power

Tell me how do we let go when it feels so real?

Chorus

We were never built to last the morning light

So I'm holding onto fading fast as I can tonight

Every moment's a snapshot of how good this felt

I'm not letting go before the bassline went still

We were never meant to land but that don't matter now

Holding onto fading, fading, hold it somehow

Bridge

Maybe endings are just exits for something new

Not a loss, just light leaving through the door of you

I won't say goodbye if I can sing this song

So let it fade slow while we're still holding on

Chorus

We were never built to last the morning light

So I'm holding onto fading fast as I can tonight

Every moment's a snapshot of how good this felt

I'm not letting go before the bassline went still

We were never meant to land but that don't matter now

Holding onto fading, fading, hold it somehow
