Fading Light 4

Verse

Fading light on the sidewalk, your jacket gone cold

Coffee cups in my hands but I don't feel whole

You're talking 'bout a sunset you saw last week

And for one second I almost believe

The streetlamp flickers over our shoulders tall

I wish it was that easy to keep from falling at all

Your smile keeps drifting, mine's stuck on the floor

Is this what they call falling apart? Not anymore

Pre-Chorus

So do you take my hand or just say goodbye?

Is this the part where the sky starts to turn bright?

Do we let the fading light run out of time?

Or keep chasing it like a sun on a winter line

Chorus

Fading light, and I'm falling for your eyes

Every last ray of sunset dying in your guise

I never knew a single star could break apart

But with you standing here, this is where I start

Fading light, and we're running out of time

Fading light, but somehow I feel alive

Verse

Your scarf's tangled round my wrist like it used to be

The moon's coming up slow behind the city tree

You say 'maybe tomorrow', I say 'what about now

But I think what you mean is we don't have a clue

We're standing right where shadows turn into air

I'm holding onto this moment, but it's slipping out there

Your voice keeps turning into something I almost know

And for one second maybe that's enough to show

Pre-Chorus

So do you take my hand or just say goodbye?

Is this the part where the sky starts to turn bright?

Do we let the fading light run out of time?

Or keep chasing it like a sun on a winter line

Chorus

Fading light, and I'm falling for your eyes

Every last ray of sunset dying in your guise

I never knew a single star could break apart

But with you standing here, this is where I start

Fading light, and we're running out of time

Fading light, but somehow I feel alive

Bridge

Maybe that's the point — maybe it never ends

Maybe every sunset is just one more friend

You don't have to stay, but for now hold on tight

And let this fading light burn through the dark till morning light

Chorus

Fading light, and I'm falling for your eyes

Every last ray of sunset dying in your guise

I never knew a single star could break apart

But with you standing here, this is where I start

Fading light, and we're running out of time

Fading light, but somehow I feel alive

Fading light... fading light...
