Ready, set go!
We're racing to be the finish line, so full of hope
But we don't even know what waits for us there
Crossing that line
It was gone by the time we thought to look behind
So we don't even know where we are going
We're burning, we're burning, we're burning up
But this heat won't bring us down
We'll just sweat it all out
All these memories that we hold
Someday we might have to just let them go
Everyone will become a silhouette so
We pretend we're fine when we're not
Acting like the future is all we've got
And we just laugh it off, like the past is nothing
Remember when
We held the world in the palm of our hands
Anything we could dream, we wanted it all
But now it seems
Like time is slipping through our fingers
Like the clock can't be stopped
And time's running out
We fight it, and fight it, and fight it but
The river of time will flow on
And the current is too strong
So these memories that we hold
Someday we might have to just let them go
Everyone will become a silhouette so
We pretend we're fine when we're not
Acting like the future is all we've got
And we just laugh it off, like the past is nothing
So light and so nimble, as they flutter through
How i wish that I could live my life
Just like leaves dancing on the wind do
All these memories that we hold
Someday we might have to just let them go
Even so, I won't ever forget you
No matter how much time goes by
I know you'll still be right here by my side
Every time I close my eyes I see your silhouette so
All the memories that we hold
Keep them close and don't ever let them go
Everyone might be become a silhouette, but
I won't give up my memories
When I go I'll take them all with me
And maybe someday we can laugh about it
So light and so nimble, as they flutter through
Those leaves disappear into the blue
