Before We're Gone

[Verse 1]
I've been standing at your door for thirty-five years
Knocking soft
Then loud
Through laughter and through tears
Every time I think you'll let me in
Something shifts
You change
It starts again
[Prechorus]
The clock keeps ticking
The moon won't wait
Are we too early or always late
[Chorus]
Before we're gone
Before the light fades out
Before the silence drowns the shouts
Take my hand
Let me hear your song
Before we're gone
Before we're gone
[Verse 2]
Your shadow dances on the walls at night
Flickers bold
Then hides beyond the light
I reach for you
But the air turns cold
Chasing ghosts of stories left untold
[Prechorus]
Time's a thief
Stealing dreams from our eyes
Can we catch it
Or just watch it fly
[Chorus]
Before we're gone
Before the world goes dim
Before the stars forget to spin
Say my name
Don't let it feel so wrong
Before we're gone
Before we're gone
