They say the past is older than we know
And if it lives on forever the future’s thrown out the window
But we keep dreaming like kids on the run
Who have found the meaning of falling in love
But when the sunshine starts to spill across this place
Will we ever catch the shadows we chase in the end
You said a thousand words are not the same
As all our pictures on the walls, but I see cracks inside the frames
And it’s never safe to reignite a flame
That has burned us once before unless we’re after twice the pain
But let’s keep breathing the air in our lungs
So our hearts keep beating, the nights are still young
But when the sunshine starts to spill across this place
Will we ever catch the shadows we chase in the end
I apologize baby, I’m sorry
This is all I can do
And now it’s all up to you
I apologize baby, I’m sorry
This is all I can do
And now it’s all up to you
And if we want to live long enough to die
We got to be loved long enough to cry an ocean out our eyes
Whenever we reminisce about that kiss, a love, a life, a time we’ll always miss
But we keep dreaming like kids on the run
Who have found the meaning of falling in love
And who are not afraid of being lost and being young
When the sunshine starts to spill across this place
We will never catch the shadows we chase in the end
I apologize baby, I’m sorry
This is all I can do
And now it’s all up to you
