Lyrics
Here we are
Years in and done
I remember you when we were young
Before the angry words and open doors
Had yet begun
I remember you when we were young
Fleeting moods collide
Does beauty fade with time?
Looking in the stars
To find
You were on my mind
And I feel alone in life
Burning in the sun
Here we are
Years in and done
I remember you when we were young
Before the angry words and open doors
Had yet begun
I remember you when we were young
Years in and done
I remember you when we were young
Before the angry words and slamming doors
Had yet begun
I remember you when we were young
Fleeting moods collide
Does beauty fade with time?
Burning in the sun
