Fleeting Glimpses

The streetlights flicker like they used to But something in the air feels new Stores are closing streets are quiet now The things we knew are fading somehow Old hangouts turned into something strange I'm still here but everything's changed We're trained to live in the now I wanna go back to the wow And see if someone can tell me how The world grew up without us (Without us) Fleeting glimpses of the days we knew The world we lived in slowly slipped through Wish I could hold on ba da ba da da But it's fading away like a long-lost smile Yeah fleeting glimpses of a time that's gone Of who we were and what we've become Posters peel off the bedroom walls Outgrown clothes and empty halls Back then it felt like time would wait Now we're running can't slow down the pace We traded bikes for crowded trains Laughter for deadlines sunshine for rain The radio's playing songs we used to know But the meaning's different as we let go Fleeting glimpses Of the days we knew The world we lived in slowly slipped through Wish I could hold on just for a while Can't slow down the pace We traded bikes for crowded trains Laughter for deadlines Sunshine for rain The radio's playing songs we used to know But the meaning's different as we let go And I still feel it sometimes When the sun's low in the sky That familiar feeling But it's just passing by We can't go back to those simple days Life's pulling us forward we're calling it for a change Fleeting glimpses of the days we knew The world we lived in slowly slipped through Wish I could hold on just for a while But it's just passing by We can't go back to those simple days Life's pulling us forward we're calling it for a change (____)
