The night is slow
A gentle glow
Hovers right above the porch
Welcoming our footsteps
As we stumble towards the door
Your empty room
A simple tune
To put us all asleep so that
We can wake with the sun
And not feel so bad
The summer days and August blaze
We're trying hard to hold on tight
To what's left of the freedom
Brought with every night
The winter sky is hanging high
So far above the snow and ice
We are safe, tucked away
In the dim of candle light
Seems like everyone's waiting
For something better to start
But we're fine being here, yeah
We're happy right where we are
If it was up to me
I don't think I'd ever move on
But it's out of our hands
So let's try out best
To hold on, to hold on
Cause we're fine being here, yeah
We're happy right where we are
But it's out of our hands
So let's try our best
To hold on
So when you leave just promise me
That you will stay the way you are
Bright and strong, moving fast
Just like a falling star
