Fading Pages

(mmm-mmm-mmh) We left the porch light burning on the avenue

I kept the polaroid of us from ninety-nine

You always said we had too much to lose

Maybe you were right,

maybe it was time

I saw the porch light fading from the passenger side

I still have your sweater,

the one with the frayed thread

You thought I was running,

but I was just terrified

Of every single word we left unsaid

And the city got cold Yeah,

the winter was long

We were acting so bold But we knew it was wrong

We were young, we were burning

(burning high) On a hope that we couldn't sustain

Now the pages are turning

(turning slow) And we're standing out in the rain

Do you ever look back on the harbor road?

Every time that the autumn wind starts to blow

I wanted to stay

(I wanted you to stay) But we

let it

go

We were young, we were burning

On a hope that we couldn't sustain

Now the pages are turning

And we're standing out in the rain (yeah-eah)

Still burning...

Out in the rain... (hmmm-mmh)
