(Verse 1)
Everybody here looks like a ghost of who they were
Or maybe I’m the one who’s faded out of frame
I stepped inside the room and saw you standing there
And suddenly, I couldn’t even speak your name
You still wear that look, the one that knows my heart
The one that reminds me of everything we lost
It’s like we’re moving in a slow-motion scene
Counting up the years and what the silence cost.
(Pre-Chorus)
Tell me that you feel a flicker of the heat
Even if it’s just a ghost of a memory
I don’t want to talk about who we’ve become
Just give me back the person you used to be.
(Chorus)
Let me take a picture of you in this light
In case it’s the last time I see you like this
Exactly like the days before the world got loud
Before we were a story that we’d come to miss
It feels like a movie, it feels like a song
It hurts just enough to know where we belong
Oh, hold me like we’re still young.
(Verse 2)
You still have that spark when you begin to speak
And I still find the rhythm in the things you say
But there’s a quiet space between our tired words
For all the "somedays" that just slipped away
I used to be so scared of growing old
Of watching every color turn to shades of grey
But standing here, sharing the same cold air
I’m glad we had the chance to feel this way.
(Bridge)
And I know the tide is pulling us apart
And tomorrow is already at the door
But just for five minutes, pretend that you’re mine
Like you were once before.
(Final Chorus)
Let me take a picture of you in this light
In case it’s the last time I see you like this
Exactly like the days before the world got loud
Before we were a story that we’d come to miss
It feels like a movie, it feels like a song
It hurts just enough to know where we belong
Oh, hold me like we’re still young...
Like we’re still young.
