I watched the sunlight bend across the room
A golden thread that spun too fast,
too soon
You held the matches, I
was just the flame
We wrote our stories in a different name
Oh, let the guitars play
Chasing the shadows of our yesterday
Every single chord we leave behind
Is just a picture of a simpler time (mmm)
We left the radio on through the night
Just static hum and fading dashboard light
You had a theory
that we'd never fade
But we are memories that we just made
Oh, let the guitars play
Chasing the shadows of our yesterday
Every single chord we leave behind
Is just a picture of a simpler time (yeah)
Let the strings ring clean
In a song we've never seen (hummmm)
