Boxing up the fireworks, cancel my parade The street is empty tonight Tonight Everything is quiet now The city holds its breath for me Their spirit has died It died Running my whole life to reach this place And just when I arrive, the moment fades out Will you let me Stop time, your hand in mine Bring me closer as it all gets ripped away And I say goodbye to the clearest eyes I won't be with you, but I won't be far away I don't need an answer, but if you rewrote the past You think you'd just leave me out, leave me out? But will you spin your head around every crowded room To see if I can be found, be found? Every single plan you will forget
So do what makes you happy, no regrets now I won't let you Stop time, your hand in mine Bring me closer as it all gets ripped away And I say goodbye to the clearest eyes I won't be with you, but I won't be far away I remember when you asked me how Far that I could throw this nut I found Then I heard you say you'd wait around I won't let you Stop time, your hand in mine Bring me closer as it all gets ripped away And I say goodbye to the clearest eyes I won't be with you, but I won't be far away and this is goodbye (goodbye) Goodbye (goodbye) This is goodbye (goodbye) Goodbye (goodbye) The street is empty tonight The street is empty tonight
