I’ve been walking railroads; I’ve been kicking stones
Trying to find the way back, trying to find a home
Caught inside a dark spot in the middle of the light
Maybe time just forgot to keep me in its sight
And left me here behind

That city’s like a fast stream, the blur of rushing lights
The way it bends around me while I live between the lines
The feeling you’re surrounded, the feeling you’re alone
The way the silence shouts it, the way its shadows glow

And with every other step I take
I can feel another slip away
I can see the colors bleed and fade
Like a picture cornered in its frame

Living like a memory trapped inside a room
You can leave alone for centuries but nothing ever moves
And like a broken record, the song that plays the same
The notes are still familiar but the way you hear them changed

And with every other step I take
I can feel another slip away
I can see the colors bleed and fade
Like a picture cornered in its frame

Sometimes when I’m dreaming that’s when I think I know
The story’s I’ve been reading, the stories still untold
Will give you happy endings, the hope that things can change
Will be forever mending and never fade away
And never fade away
Never fade away
