lyrics

Eyes aglow
We thought we see the future
Little did we know
The time and place won't suit the
Futile race to show
There's something more than loneliness around here

A day in Rome
The smile turned into laughter
Then it changed the tone
So we grew up in the same world that we feared alone
Hoping that those memories disappear

And now our lives are all that we've been waiting for
It's just
It seems

That we're still standing there when our eyes are closed
And we stay for a minute
And we're standing there when our eyes are closed

Rome's just a picture now
But memories delight us as excitement falls
My heart is warm and proud
It keeps its doubts inside a part
That was probably yours

And I tried to send it to you
We were gonna keep it locked away
Now we laugh at the cliché

As we're standing there when our eyes are closed
And we stay for a minute
And we're standing there when our eyes are closed

And I tried to send it to you
You know we're fools on the run from time
On separate sides of paradise we watch the flames
Hide all the light

But we're still standing there when our eyes are closed
And we stay for a minute
And we're standing there when our eyes are closed
