Outlines

Everything fades away
Turns into yesterday
Everything fades to grey
Nothing more we can say

Did you think I could forget everything?
The affair so sweet, an end that stings
We were held together, by a string
You reel me out, I pull you in

Now we're lying, lying awake at the break of dawn
Drown in silence, fading away as we come undone

Were you just scared to be alone?
Looking for somebody to fill the holes
We held on so tight, until it broke
I cling to you, then let you go...

Now we're lying, lying awake at the break of dawn
Drown in silence, turning away from the damage done
Do you remember, do you remember?

In the half-light, after midnight
When the spirits rise, dancing on a bonfire
In the shadowlands, on the side-lines
Looking for your face, I only see the outlines

I only see the outlines
I only see the outlines

Caught in a game, where no one wins
In these silent hours, of suffering
I think of you, and my body aches
I give with one hand, and then I take

Now we're lying, lying awake at the break of dawn
Drown in silence, try to forget in another's arms

Do you remember, do you remember?

In the half-light, after midnight
When the spirits rise, dancing on a bonfire
In the shadowlands, on the side-lines
Looking for your face, I only see the outlines

In this ghost town, on the lowdown
Hear your breathing, trying to put your arms around
In the half-light, after midnight
Looking for your face, I only see the outlines

I only see the outlines
I only see the outlines
I only see the outlines
I only see the outlines
