Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You were so young we were too vain
Dance in the dark sing in the rain
Time on our hands
Hope in our heart
[Verse 2]
We were talking passing strangers
Moments caught across an empty room
Wasted whispers, faded secrets
Quickly passes time goes, time goes by too soon
[Verse 3]
We stood alone silent and proud
Moments unknown lost in a crowd
Running through memories like thieves in the night
Clutching emotions holding too tight
Hold turns to dust shattered by light
[Verse 4]
We were talking passing strangers
Moments caught across an empty room
Wasted whispers, faded secrets
Quickly passes time goes, time goes by too soon
[Verse 5]
We were talking passing strangers
Moments caught across an empty room
Wasted whispers, faded secrets
Quickly passes time goes, time goes by too soon
[Verse 6]
We were talking passing strangers
Moments caught across an empty room
Wasted whispers, faded secrets
