The night falls, spilling in through our door And with a stilted smile you stand Of all the words we could have planned, this says all we can We hold on, say we'll always be one Choking back on all the tears Sharing love and other fears, it's no wonder we're here As the sun shines late into the night we'll cast a longer looming shadow But then some time we'll look into the light and all we left behind will follow I know I'll keep it so close The rain lines the streets of all our good times - and some others don't we know But we promise love forever more and we know that's never hollow As the sun shines late into the night we'll cast a longer looming shadow But then some time we'll look into the light and all we left behind will follow I know I'll keep it so close with this heart of mine I never wanted to move on There's never nothing to lose There'd only ever be something new And as it rolls on, something's changed but all's not gone Always ours
2.
Throw your thoughts at me tonight - I'd never known you were falling out of sight I can try to shine a light, 'cos heaven knows if you're calling Now is the time to get it right When all just seems hollow don't just look to tomorrow every time 'Cos everything follows on from what's left behind So make the call to me tonight Not a word's ever wasted or unkind For only secrets, only lies are what are gonna destroy us For the more we hide, the less we see the light When all just seems hollow don't just look to tomorrow every time 'Cos everything follows on from the days they thought we would have left behind
3.
Save your words Nothing like looks to serve me up a chill so cold I could be set in stone You deny that you'll feel the love in time Nothing I say or do could bring the light back through A change of heart could just take us back to the start We've come so far as to say that we know who we are You say you're looking for something but not anything more Sweet decline I missed the warning signs Or did I walk right through just like I always do A change of heart could just take us back to the start We've gone so far, who's to say that we know who we are? You say you're looking for something but not anything more But I'll see you have me to hold And I'll try my best growing old the only way I've known
4.
You came to talk with me a while to raise my hopes and raised a smile And thoughtlessly I said all I'll likely not repeat - I'd like to not repeat You say I seem caught up in doubt, and all my dreams are over how? Who says that all you're seeing now is all there'll ever be? 'Cause all there'll ever be Is all you make of all you take and everything you hold And all that breaks is there to wake your heart to what is already known of all the ways to go You gave your thoughts on all I told and asked me what my future holds I'd say that I don't wanna know 'cause all there'll ever be is all that's meant to be It's all you make of all you take and everything you hold And all that breaks is there to wake your heart to what is already known It moves so fast, and what is built to last? They say all things must come to pass; you can only try to make the good things last You came to talk with me a while, you raised my hopes and raised a smile
