Lyrics
[Verse]
Your hand slipped through mine like sand
The clock ticked but it wouldn’t stand
A thousand whispers lost in the breeze
Love couldn’t root in soil like these
[Prechorus]
I chased the sun it burned my skin
I held your heart but it caved in
[Chorus]
It couldn’t stay no it couldn’t stay
Like a paper boat in a tidal wave
It couldn’t stay no it couldn’t stay
But I’m glad we tried anyway
[Verse 2]
Your laugh was a spark in a darkened room
But sparks fade fast they’re gone too soon
We wrote our names on a foggy glass
Watched it vanish like the past
[Prechorus]
I ran to the edge you stayed behind
You loved me once but not this time
[Chorus]
It couldn’t stay no it couldn’t stay
Like a fragile thread that frays away
It couldn’t stay no it couldn’t stay
But I’m glad we danced in the rain that day
Your hand slipped through mine like sand
The clock ticked but it wouldn’t stand
A thousand whispers lost in the breeze
Love couldn’t root in soil like these
[Prechorus]
I chased the sun it burned my skin
I held your heart but it caved in
[Chorus]
It couldn’t stay no it couldn’t stay
Like a paper boat in a tidal wave
It couldn’t stay no it couldn’t stay
But I’m glad we tried anyway
[Verse 2]
Your laugh was a spark in a darkened room
But sparks fade fast they’re gone too soon
We wrote our names on a foggy glass
Watched it vanish like the past
[Prechorus]
I ran to the edge you stayed behind
You loved me once but not this time
[Chorus]
It couldn’t stay no it couldn’t stay
Like a fragile thread that frays away
It couldn’t stay no it couldn’t stay
But I’m glad we danced in the rain that day
