Walking down the neon streets alone
Shadows whisper words Ive always known
Coffee stains on letters left unsent
Time moves slow but love wont bend
Every step echoes in the rain
Footprints washed but not the pain
Hold me close then let me go
Like autumn leaves we lose our glow
The tighter hands the faster slips
Loves just a pair of parting lips
Hold me close then let me go
Like midnight trains that no one knows
The brighter flames the shorter light
We burn too quick to say goodnight
Taxi lights through foggy window panes
Counting all the losses none remains
Your perfume lingers on my coat
A ghost of warmth in notes you wrote
Every step echoes in the rain
Footprints washed but not the pain
Hold me close then let me go
Like autumn leaves we lose our glow
The tighter hands the faster slips
Loves just a pair of parting lips
Hold me close then let me go
Like midnight trains that no one knows
The brighter flames the shorter light
We burn too quick to say goodnight
Maybe in another life
Wed be stars not passing lights
But clocks dont turn like records spin
And all our maybes end in then
Hold me close then let me go
Like autumn leaves we lose our glow
The tighter hands the faster slips
Loves just a pair of parting lips
Hold me close then let me go
Like midnight trains that no one knows
The brighter flames the shorter light
We burn too quick to say goodnight
