[Verse 1] Shadows stretch across the cracked pavement Sunlight fades on the kitchen floor Tracing steps from a better time Nothing looks the same anymore Dust is dancing in the light Silent rooms and heavy air I can hear your quiet laugh Echoing from the empty chair [Chorus] Fading light stays here Holding on to you Every year disappears fast Nothing feels brand new Fading light stays here Holding on to you Every year disappears fast Nothing feels brand new [Verse 2] Porch lights humming a quiet song As the neighborhood goes to sleep Secrets that we never told Are the only ones we keep Cracks in the concrete path Lead me back to where I started Wondering where the time went For the young and heavy hearted [Chorus] Fading light stays here Holding on to you Every year disappears fast Nothing feels brand new Fading light stays here Holding on to you Every year disappears fast Nothing feels brand new [Guitar Solo] (Atmospheric, emotional electric guitar lead with tape delay and warm sustain) [Chorus] Fading light stays here Holding on to you Every year disappears fast Nothing feels brand new Fading light stays here Holding on to you Every year disappears fast Nothing feels brand new [Outro] Just another quiet night in this town Watch the stars and let the memories fade (Fading out with tape hiss and gentle fingerpicked guitar)
