night changes - one direction

this little moment, it could just be ours, you know?
just for a couple of ever-lasting seconds
we could pretend like there's nothing important on our minds

reaching for stars in an empty dark sky
prending we can sell the truth without making a sacrifice
trying to dance through everything that mattered last night

i just feel like, maybe that's what life is about sometimes
looking for solutions when i think that there's no way outside
remember that mess we made? it could make us feel alive
maybe, it could be something good, if we tried

after living through all of these empty-hearted, distant lifes
it might be time for ourselves to be the ones that make the stars shine
we could take this little moment and
be thankful that the yellow facade hasn't died yet

remember all those joy-fading times?
traces of the sunset in the dark glitter sky
like hints of the happiness that used to be printed in your smile
now, there's so much lost color i am missing in your eyes

i'll ask you how your week's been going and you'll pretend it was alright
don't even say it with an undertone, it's just a simple reply
but i think about it until darkness fills the daylight
i'm sorry, too, you know that, right?
