Morning light spills on the wooden floor
Coffee rings like the days before
Your laugh echoes, then it fades away
Like a song we forgot to play
We were tracing moments in the air
Never knowing they were never there
Like a paper sunset in my hands
Folding time I don’t understand
Every color slips away too soon
Fading under silver moon
We were golden, we were gone
In a breath, it’s moving on
Like a paper sunset, soft and slow
We were something I can’t hold
Empty chairs and a cooling cup
All the words we never said enough
Through the glass, I see us pass
Shadows drifting into the past
Every second slipping through the seams
Living only in between
Like a paper sunset in my hands
Folding time I don’t understand
Every color slips away too soon
Fading under silver moon
We were golden, we were gone
In a breath, it’s moving on
Like a paper sunset, soft and slow
We were something I can’t hold
If I could pause the quiet air
I’d keep you somewhere lingering there
But time just bends and disappears
A thousand yesterdays in tears
Like a paper sunset in my hands
Folding time I don’t understand
Every color slips away too soon
Fading under silver moon
We were golden, we were gone
In a breath, it’s moving on
Like a paper sunset, soft and slow
We were something I can’t hold
Paper sunset, drifting by
Just a moment passing by
