Panic!

They told me that you had died But it was something I had to see with my own eyes Stealing away into the darkness Borrowed friends and a purpose in tow The place we danced still hot with sweat And the memories so fresh I can't get over it How could they say that you were long gone You keep the beat and you live on These shoes have seen their fair share Of nights looking for a place we ought to be It's not the destination No it's the company Days of our youth spent sleeping in with curtains drawn In places far away from home One day we'll look back on these times and realize We forgot how it felt to be alone I can't even believe it You were way too young to go You left me with these questions How long until the days of youth run out It's not the years that go by But the times you spent in doubt Skirting responsibilities as long as we can With all the things we couldn't do Running ahead of time and never looking back Until we saw they caught you too I can't even believe it All the things we didn't know They told me that you had died But it was something I had to see with my own eyes Stealing away into the darkness Borrowed friends and a purpose in tow The place we danced still hot with sweat And the memories so fresh I can't get over it How could they say that you were long gone You keep the beat and you live on We're living in the present With nothing for the past A memory and a lifetime The days are getting longer The nights are growing cold But still the years just roll by You could have asked and we would have given The help to get you through They told me that you had died But it was something I had to see with my own eyes Stealing away into the darkness Borrowed friends and a purpose in tow The place we danced still hot with sweat And the memories so fresh I can't get over it How could they say that you were long gone You keep the beat and you live on
