Fading Light 2 7

Verse 1 – male vocal

City lights are burning out, one by one

Gold on copper, fading fast

Every memory we made will be a ghost at last

Your eyes keep shining where the sunset ends

We're running through the streets until they turn to black again

I'm chasing down the colors of this fading light

In your hand I find a little more than I can hold tonight

Pre-Chorus

Hold me close and watch it all go down

Breathe the dust off these fading crowns

This is where we learned how to let it be

Lose ourselves in the dying heat of summer

Chorus – both

Fading light, take my hand

We're running through the last goodbye in this town

Every color turns a little softer now

I don't want tomorrow, I just want you

This is where we burn and watch it all go down

Fading light, never let me go

Let's write our names across this dying glow

Verse 2 – female vocal

Your palm against my chest

The stars are waking up behind the streetlights at last

I'm counting every spark that lights your face

Every door we open turns into a new place

Your eyes keep catching everything I try to hold

In your hands, this whole city starts to fold

Like a photograph that slowly fades and turns gold

Pre-Chorus

Hold me close and watch it all go down

Breathe the dust off these fading crowns

This is where we learned how to let it be

Lose ourselves in the dying heat of summer

Chorus – both

Fading light, take my hand

We're running through the last goodbye in this town

Every color turns a little softer now

I don't want tomorrow, I just want you

This is where we burn and watch it all go down

Fading light, never let me go

Let's write our names across this dying glow

Bridge

Look up at that sky, can you feel the turn

Every sunset starts a brand new world to learn

We may not stay here, but tonight will be the same

Wherever we go, I'll keep your name

In every sunset painting on these city walls

I'll chase it till the darkness calls me home

This is where I find my own

Chorus – both

Fading light, take my hand

We're running through the last goodbye in this town

Every color turns a little softer now

I don't want tomorrow, I just want you

This is where we burn and watch it all go down

Fading light, never let me go

Let's write our names across this dying glow
