lyrics

The sky painted with light
But the photos never get the color right
No stars tonight
But the freeway traffic
Sparkling so bright

Time moves so slow
Running circles running out of hope
That's how it goes
Draped in darkness searching for that glow

Tired from the fight
Keep on going try with all your might
I know what it's like
Fingers frozen stomach full of fright

Oh no no no
There's such a lovely long way left to go
And though and though
Silence is the kindest sound I know

Oh wow
Another day goes by
It goes so fast when I'm feeling alright
And now it's over
Is it really over
Shut those eyes goodbye, goodnight

The night has become quite cold
And I have become quite cold

Oh wow
Another day goes by
It goes so fast when I'm feeling alright
And now it's over
Is it really over
Shut those eyes goodbye, goodnight
