[Verse 1]
Though life has worn us down
Through sun and rain
Your eyes are still the same
Deep blue against all gray
Love, don't be afraid
You seem to say
I am here for you
All the way
My lover, my best friend
[Verse 2]
Do you remember us?
It was that first January
You had just turned nineteen
I was soon to be twenty
[Verse 3]
We fed on politics and poetry
Two children fueled by unbroken dreams
[Verse 4]
You're watching me slowly slip away
Like the passing light of day
Watching the colors turn to gray
Like the passing light of day
The passing light of day
[Verse 5]
You better burn out, they say
Then fade away
Some candles last an hour
And others one full day
But I want to be like the sun
That steady flame that burns
One and off, and still
[Verse 6]
We're watching this slowly slip away
Like the passing light of day
We're watching the colors turning gray
In the passing light
[Verse 7]
Lifetimes since we met that January
Two young kids
Feeding on politics and poetry
Running on dreams
[Verse 8]
Empires have fallen
Nations have been born
Heroes of our childhood
Dead, forgotten, or gone
[Verse 9]
But we stand
[Verse 10]
All those times that I went away
All those times that I couldn't stay
Wish that I could give them back
Wish that I could give them back
All those times that I fed on you
All those times that I turned on you
Wish that I could take them back
Wish that I could take them back
'Cause all those times led to here today
All those times lead to her today
All those moments returned today
All those times of another day
[Verse 11]
You're watching this slowly slip away
Like the passing light of day
Watching our colors turning gray
Like the passing light of day
[Verse 12]
I need something new
If I could stare down you
Would it feel the same?
I need something new
To feel whole again
I need something new
Take me home again
[Verse 13]
All those people who worry us
All those things that were hurting us
None of that can reach me now
None of that can reach me now
All the darkness we thought about
All those things that we fought about
None of that can touch me now
None of that can touch me now
'Cause all that matters is you today
All the thoughts that I think today
Every word that we say today
Every second another day
[Verse 14]
We're all burning out, fading away
Like the passing light of day
We are watching the colors turning gray
In the passing light of day
We may wish we could run, just walk away
From this passing light of day
But at some point we need to stop and say
It's okay, it's okay
[Verse 15]
My love, don't be afraid, I hear you say
I'll be here for you all the way
And I just wish that I could smile and say
Baby, hey, I'm in too much pain
To feel afraid
My lover, my best friend
Lover, best friend
[Verse 16]
I'm watching it slowly slip away
Like the passing light of day
Watching the colors turning gray
In the passing light of day
And although I wish that I could stay
It somehow strangely feels okay
It is what it is, I'll find my way
Through this passing light
