[Verse 1] Little sparks against the dark Dancing circles in the air I kept both my hands around them Like they'd always need me there Every spark burned a little Still I stayed I could feel the warmth grow sharper Still I couldn't turn away [Pre-Chorus] Hold the light, hold the light Even when it starts to burn Knowing when a thing must end Doesn't make you want it to [Chorus] Held the light like it was ours Even knowing it would fade Funny how the smallest things Still remember our names [Verse 2] Now the sparks are getting smaller And the wire's burning low There's a moment when you know You should let it go Maybe I mistook the ember For a thing I had to save Maybe keeping something with me Isn't keeping it the same [Pre-Chorus] Hold the light, hold the light Even when it starts to burn Knowing when a thing must end Doesn't make you want it to [Chorus] Held the light like it was ours Even knowing it would fade Funny how the smallest things Still remember our names [Bridge] If it hurts, does that mean leave it? If it fades, was it in vain? How long do you hold an ember Before the warmth becomes the pain? If I open up my fingers Does the light become less true? Or is loving what was beautiful Knowing when it's finished too? [Final Chorus] Held the light like it was ours Even knowing it would fade Funny how the smallest things Still remember our names [Outro] Hold the light, hold the light Even when it starts to burn Hold the light, hold the light Maybe I will never learn
