Pain Of Salvation - The Pa**ing Light of Day lyrics

[Verse 1] Though life has worn us down Through sun and rain Your eyes are still the same Deep blue against all grey “Love, don’t be afraid” They seem to say “I’ll be here for you all the way My lover My best friend” Do you remember us? That first January? You had just turned nineteen And I was to be twenty We fed on politics and poetry Two children fueled by unbroken dreams [Chorus 1] You’re watching me slowly slip away Like the pa**ing light of day Watching the colors turn to grey Like the pa**ing light of day The pa**ing light of day [Verse 2] Better burn out, they say Than fade away Some candles last an hour And others one full day But I, I wanna be like the sun That steady flame that burns on And on And still… [Chorus 2] You’re watching me slowly slip away Like the pa**ing light of day We’re watching the colors turning grey In the pa**ing light… [Bridge 1] A lifetime since we met That January Two young kids feeding on politics And poetry Running on dreams (Ending theme…) Empires have fallen Nations have been born The heroes of our childhood Dead, forgotten, or gone But we still stand [Bridge 2] All those times that I went away All those times that I couldn’t stay Wish that I could give them back Wish that I could give them back All those times that I failed on you All those times that I turned on you Wish that I could take them back Wish that I could take them back Cos all those times are still here today All those times they still hurt today All those moments return today All those times of “Another day” [Chorus 3] You’re watching me slowly slip away Like the pa**ing light of day Watching our colors turning grey Like the pa**ing light of day [Verse 3] I need something new If I could start anew Would it be the same? I need something new To feel whole again (If I only knew) I will see this through I need something new Take me home again (If I only knew) [Bridge 3] All those people who worried us All those things that were hurting us None of that can reach me now None of that can reach me now All the darkness we thought about All those things that we fought about None of that can touch me now None of that can touch me now Cos that matters is here today All the thoughts that I think today Every word that we say today Every second alive today [Chorus 4] We’re all burning out, fading away Like the pa**ing light of day We are watching the colors turning grey In the pa**ing light of day We may wish we could run Just walk away From this pa**ing light of day But at some point we needed to stop And say It’s ok It’s ok [Outro] “My love, don’t be afraid” I hear you say “I’ll be here for you all the way” And I just wish that I could smile and say: ‘Baby, hey I’m in too much pain To feel afraid My lover My best friend” Lover Best friend I’m watching it slowly slip away Like the pa**ing light of day Watching the colors turning gray In the pa**ing light of day And although I wish That I could stay It somehow strangely feels ok It is what it is I’ll find my way Through this pa**ing light…
