Lyrics

Intro

Oh-oh

I'm running with my eyes closed

Feels like I've already let you go

Mm-mm

Verse 1

Twilight blurs behind the glass

I can’t make this stop

I still have that photo of us

With your smile I've lost

The carriage sways and silence stays

I watch the people move on cue

The reflection in the dark glass

Is a, still mirage of you

Pre-Chorus

In the rush of going nowhere

Something in us disappeared

Gone, away from here

Chorus

What did we need?

Tell me what was missing between us

Was there anything worth keeping at all?

Left in the rush of us slipping away

What did we need?

Did we leave anything behind?

Post-Chorus

Anything behind

Everything just passes by

Did we leave anything behind?

Verse 2

It all went by so fast

No chance for questions I saved

but never really wanted to ask

A sigh while I drift back into myself

Lonely conversations that don't matter

Small words that didn't fit the time

And somewhere underneath the chatter

I still hear your goodbye

Pre-Chorus

In the rush of going nowhere

Something in us disappeared

Gone, away, somewhere

Chorus

What did we need?

Tell me what was missing between us

Was there anything worth keeping at all?

In what we had, we let slip away

Bridge

Bare rails glint in the morning light

Fragments falling fast out of sight

I won’t search

I won’t listen

I won’t believe anymore

Final Chorus

What did we need?

Tell me what was missing between us

Was there anything worth keeping at all?

Left in the rush of us slipping away

What did we need?

Did we leave anything behind?
