Can you outrun
The dying sun
That washes away the past?
I didn’t believe
We’d really leave.
Thought today would always last.  

But the sun will set
And those I’ve met
Will leave like the fading light.
And memories
Like wilting trees
Will crumble in the night.  

If we could stay,
Relive the day,
Would you come and live with me?
We’d pause the clocks,
With all our thoughts
Still focused on being free.

So take my hand
Run as fast as you can
We’ll see how much time we can steal.
Turn back the past
Make the moments last
You can’t even tell it’s not real.

We’ll live there forever
Our friends all together
Where the sun never sets in the sky
We’ll have all of time
With your hand in mine
There’s never a need for “Goodbye”

But you can’t outrun
The dying sun
Our time is condemned to be through.
They say that we’re home
But they should have known
My home was with all of you.
