[Intro] [Short Instrumental Intro with ambient guitar swells] [Verse 1] The clubs are gone, the names have changed, The streets we knew have been rearranged, But I still hear you down the hall, Laughing like we'd never fall. [Chorus] But when the lights all disappear That the years could never take away But when the lights all disappear That the years could never take away Never take away [Instrumental Break] [Soft Guitar Solo with slow-building drums] [Verse 2] I heard our record in a corner shop, For three strange seconds, the whole world stopped, And there you were in the harmony, A ghost of who we used to be. [Chorus] But when the lights all disappear That the years could never take away But when the lights all disappear That the years could never take away Never take away [Bridge] And maybe all the golden years Were only gold beneath the dirt, Maybe every dream we chased Was just another way to hurt.

[Chorus] But when the lights all disappear That the years could never take away But when the lights all disappear That the years could never take away Never take away [Bridge] And maybe all the golden years Were only gold beneath the dirt, Maybe every dream we chased Was just another way to hurt. [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] But when the lights all disappear That the years could never take away But when the lights all disappear That the years could never take away Never take away [Outro] [Ambient Guitar Outro fading into reverb]
