lyrics

there you were in the photo line
a brand new story among reruns
and seventeen and Christmas green
it was as if I knew no one or nothing

dim lights and mid-90's top 40
we took the floor in my imagination
and just as my hands felt the muscles of your back
you were gone, and I was driving back

there's a time when we don't know who we are
and it seems like we will never know
but if at long last we find the reason we're breathing
will we hold it close and never let it go

again I saw you in an all-night diner
the holiday highway was our conduit
and hometown flames turn to ashes with space and time
lucky for me, the embers slipped right past your eyes

there's a time when we don't know who we are
and it seems like we will never know
but if at long last we find the reason we're breathing
will we hold it close and never let it go
there's a time when we don't know who we are
and it seems like we will never know
but if at long last we find out why we're breathing
will we hold it close and never let it go
