[[Verse 1] I've been thinking about the way things used to be Before the world got loud and took the best of me I'm walking down the streets where we used to run Underneath the shadow of a setting sun [Chorus] And it's a long way down from where we stood I'd change it all if I only could But the wind keeps blowing and the leaves they fall And I'm still waiting for your call [Verse 2] There’s a memory of us in the corner store A hollow presence through a once open door I found a picture in a dusty frame Now the faces change, but the ache’s the same We built our kingdoms out of sand alone But the tide came in and we let it go Now I’m just tracing lines on a weathered map Trying to bridge the distance in the gap [Chorus] And it's a long way down from where we stood I'd change it all if I only could But the wind keeps blowing and the leaves they fall And I'm still waiting for your call [Bridge] Maybe the silence is the only sound That keeps my feet here on the ground I’m tired of looking for a silver lining When the stars themselves are busy resigning Is it growth or is it just getting old? Trading the fire for a steady cold? [Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break] (Recommended 30-45 seconds of melodic, atmospheric builds to reach that 3-minute mark) [Chorus] And it's a long way down from where we stood I'd change it all if I only could But the wind keeps blowing and the leaves they fall And I'm still waiting for your call [Outro] Yeah, I’m still waiting... Just a shadow of a setting sun Watching the streets where we used to run The world got loud... The world got so loud.[ (Fade out with the sound of wind or a single acoustic guitar chord]
