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
