Every Color in My Chest 2 (versione 2)

Verse

Sixteen and standing in the rain, watching everyone drive by

I'm still holding onto something that I thought would never die

You were gone before the storm had passed, but the colors stayed

Every sunset, every streetlamp glowing on your face

Pre-Chorus

Is this my heart turning red or is it just the neon light?

Do I need to choose between these two things shining bright?

Chorus

This is the feeling when you're left behind

Every color in my chest that I thought would never subside

I'll chase your shadow across a thousand nights

Every color in my chest is still burning like it did

When you were here, when you walked away, who knew that's where I'd stay?

This is the feeling when you're left behind

Verse

Now I'm twenty-three and standing in this crowd of faces I don't know

But every single one of them glows with a light that's somehow your own

We laugh and dance and let our shoulders down, and for an instant, we all shine

Like you were here watching over us from somewhere beyond this place and time

Pre-Chorus

Is this my heart turning red or is it just the neon light?

Do I need to choose between these two things shining bright?

Chorus

This is the feeling when you're left behind

Every color in my chest that I thought would never subside

I'll chase your shadow across a thousand nights

Every color in my chest is still burning like it did

When you were here, when you walked away, who knew that's where I'd stay?

This is the feeling when you're left behind

Bridge

Maybe colors don't fade away, maybe they just get brighter with time

I'll carry every sunset we ever made and turn them into gold, one line at a time

Every shadow casts its own light in a different place and time

And I know that this is still yours, no matter where you're walking tonight

Chorus

This is the feeling when you're left behind

Every color in my chest that I thought would never subside

I'll chase your shadow across a thousand nights

Every color in my chest is still burning like it did

When you were here, when you walked away, who knew that's where I'd stay?

This is the feeling when you're left behind
