Lyrics
Those days when our hearts were as big as the sun
Reflecting on past times when emotions were expansive and intense.
Turn around with a smile for everyone
Turning around with a positive demeanor towards everyone.
That feeling's a memory
That emotional state is now a recollection of the past.
Funny how it fades away
Noting the irony or peculiar nature of how emotions diminish over time.
You won't see those pale grays returning to blues
There won't be a return to the subtle, muted emotions, transitioning from sadness to a more neutral state.
The colors will wash out as I shrink in my shoes
As emotions fade, the vibrancy of life also diminishes, feeling small and withdrawn.
And I won't always live and breathe
Expressing the inevitability of not always being present and active.
Watch me as I fade away
An observation of oneself gradually losing prominence or significance.
We wake in the morning and work all day
Beginning the day with work, a routine aspect of life.
We dress up in the evening with nothing to say
Dressing up in the evening without much conversation or substance.
Just like a candle burning bright
Comparing life to a bright candle, symbolizing intensity and vitality.
Burning like forever then it fades away
Highlighting the transient nature of intensity, fading away with time.
Who on this planet would ever refuse
Pondering who would decline an opportunity for passionate love even if it means experiencing loss.
The chance of a lifetime to love and lose
Emphasizing the paradoxical nature of embracing love despite knowing its potential for loss.
When time is of no importance
When time seems insignificant or inconsequential.
Have you seen it slip away?
Questioning if time has been observed slipping away unnoticed.
We wake in the morning and work all day
Repetition of the daily routine of working and lacking meaningful communication in the evening.
We dress up in the evening with nothing to say
Continuing the comparison of life to a burning candle, depicting the temporariness of intensity.
Just like a candle burning bright
Similar to previous lines, acknowledging the ephemeral nature of vibrant experiences.
Burning like forever then it fades away
Reiteration of the fleeting nature of passionate experiences.
We wake in the morning and work all day
Continuing the cycle of daily routine and lack of substantial evening interactions.
We dress up in the evening with nothing to say
Reemphasizing the analogy of life as a burning candle, acknowledging its eventual fade.
Just like a candle burning bright
Once again, stressing the transient nature of intense experiences.
Burning like forever then it fades away
(Repeating the idea of something vibrant fading away over time.)
