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
Outro
Fading light... fading light...
