We were young, we were right
When we wrote this

We were burning bright

Didn’t slow it
On the night

Thin air on our cheeks
Did you notice?

There were no guarantees
Did you know this?

When you drove by
Did you notice?

My red eyes
We were promised

No goodbyes

To shine oh

Where the glow is
Fading to an end

Down below this

Beautiful mess
