Shadows of Us

[Verse 1]
Moonlight choking on the alley air
Your silhouette just standing there
Broken clocks they stutter and shake
Time don't heal it only breaks

[Chorus]
Hold me like the world is breaking
Tell me it's the love worth faking
Every word a stitch I'm mending
But your eyes are the truth unbending

[Verse 2]
We laughed through the static and rain
Your voice lingered on every refrain
Fingers tracing the edge of the void
Built a garden only to destroy

[Bridge]
I fall into the ache of your name
The stars spit fire but burn the same
Echoes curl where the shadows collide
Lust and love where our ghosts confide

[Chorus]
Hold me like the world is breaking
Tell me it's the love worth faking
Every word a stitch I'm mending
But your eyes are the truth unbending

[Outro]
We were never meant to survive the night
Just fading sparks in borrowed light
But oh what a fool to love the flame
When it leaves only ashes to claim

I wrote you this song
to be with you when I'm gone
Maybe in time
you can sing along
What a lovely old sky
60 miles high
That keeps us here
in the world we know

When I close my eyes
and all my years of time are over
I'll be far away singing you this song

Hold on, oh, my darlin' you'll be fine
You'll have white hair, and tired bones
And peace of mind

Tell me something you love
about life or growing up
Something to change
the way we look at things
Have a burst of energy
like we were when we were teens
Get a little high
on some make believe

When I close my eyes and
All my years of time are over
I'll be far away singing you this song

Hold on, oh, my darlin' you'll be fine
You'll have white hair, and tired bones
And peace of mind

When we meet again
and our new life begins
I believe somewhere
in the universe we'll fly
Hold on

Hold On

Thank You Jesus
