(Verse 1)
The streetlights bleed their gold across the pane
Another night whispers a name
And alone, a touch is still felt
A ghost inside, too much was given
Meetings happen in corners, shadowed and discrete
Where bitter truth is always bittersweet
Lines are traced of promises that have been made
While tangled up inside this masquerade.
(Chorus)
This is a fire that's not meant to light
A fragile secret burning in the night
Every kiss is just borrowed time that's been stole
And every lie is taking its toll
It's known that nothing good can grow
In the cold shadow of a lie, you know
But here we are, and here I’ll gladly stay
Living a lifetime in a single day.
(Verse 2)
Your hand in mine, a rush of reckless heat
The city hums below our frantic feet
The world goes on, so unaware
Of all the futures we can’t ever share
The rings I wear, they catch the moon’s soft gleam
A heavy stone inside a fading dream
A perfect script we both know we must play
And silently, we wish it all away.
(Chorus)
This is a fire we’re not meant to light
A fragile secret burning in the night
Every kiss is just borrowed time we stole
And every lie is taking its toll
I know they say that nothing good can grow
In the cold shadow of a lie, you know
But here we are, and here I’ll gladly stay
Living a lifetime in a single day.
(Bridge)
I’m stuck between the life that is being lived now
And the one we imagine somehow
Is it the danger that keeps one coming back?
Or is it a hunger one will forever lack?
They say you want what you can’t ever have
A tempting curse, a final epitaph
But one more hour, one more stolen glance
Is worth the wreckage of this hopeless dance.
(Chorus)
This is a fire we’re not meant to light
A fragile secret burning in the night
Every kiss is just borrowed time we stole
And every lie is taking its toll
I know they say that nothing good can grow
In the cold shadow of a lie, you know
But here we are, and here I’ll gladly stay
Living a lifetime in a single day.
(Outro)
A single day…
Just a single, stolen day…
Living a lifetime…
In a secret, stolen day…
And tomorrow we go back to being strangers...
