Going, Going, Gone

As night arrives
All the glittering light's like a memory
That's not meant for me

They feel alive
All the stars as they arc through the atmosphere
And then disappear

With everyone right by my side, every wall is broken down
And I might be alright in the sea of light and sound
Here, maybe one day I will find
An escape from the weight on my mind

Let me stay awhile, stop the world from moving on
And I'll gaze into the sunset till it's going, going, gone
Lend me the stage and I know there'd be a role for me to play
You'd take a photograph, and I'd take your breath away

The city aches
With the weight of a million fantasies
That will never be

But I'm wide awake
It's a rush just to be at the heart of it
To feel like part of it

With everyone right by my side, I forget the fear and doubt
And I might be alright, even though time's running out
Here, maybe one day I will find
An escape from the fate I'm assigned

Let me stay awhile, stop the world from moving on
And I'll dance beneath the stars before they're going, going, gone
Lend me the stage and I know there'd be a role for me to play
You'd take a photograph, and I'd take your breath away

Let me stay awhile, stop the world from moving on
And I'll cherish all the memories till they're going, going, gone
Here in the light, I can feel something within me start to glow
Like it's a star to wish upon
I know I'll dream about this moment till I'm going, going-
