If I could recapture
All of the memories
And bring them to life
Surely I would hear the distant laughter
Wasn't it you and me
Surviving the night
You're fading out of my sight
Swiftly
You're vanishing
Drifting away
You're vanishing
I was so enraptured
No sensibility
To open my eyes
I misunderstood
Now you're fading faster
It's suddenly hard to see
You're taking the light
Letting the shadows inside
Swiftly
You're vanishing
Drifting away
You're vanishing
You're vanishing
Drifting away
Reaching out into the distance
Searching for spirits of the past
Just a trace of your existence to grasp
And if somehow I could recapture
All of the memories
And bring them to life
Lord knows I would
But now you're fading faster
Getting so hard to see
Taking the light
Letting the darkness inside
Swiftly
You're vanishing
Drifting away
You're vanishing
You're vanishing
Drifting so far away
You're vanishing
People all over build on solid ground
They build it up and then they tear it down
Take it or leave it who cares how much it costs
They'll never know how much is gone until it's lost
'til it's vanishing
Think I hear thunder ain't no sign of rain
Danger signs flashin' in my brain
Ridin' on empty - lights are turnin' red
There ain't no lovin' left in this empty bed
Ya it's vanishing
We're sittin' on treasure call it sacred ground
Why look for more babe when it's right here to be found
Never gonna lose ya - ya know I'm gonna fight
This thing's worth saving girl - ya know we'll make it right
If it takes all night - gonna swim your sea
Gonna sail your ocean - gonna shake your tree
Gonna climb your mountain - gonna shine your light
Wanna row your river darlin' - if it takes all night
People all over build mansions in the sky
They choke on smoke and watch their dreams go by
When the phone stops ringin' love has surely died
But the grass is greener babe on the other side
Never wanna lose ya - ya know I'm gonna fight
Never said it'd be easy girl - ya know we'll make it right
If it takes all night - gonna swim your sea
Gonna sail your ocean - gonna shake your tree
Gonna climb your mountain - gonna shine your light
Wanna row your river darlin' - if it takes all night
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Whatcha gonna do without a shoulder to lean on
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Never wanna lose ya - ya know we gotta fight
Never said it'd be easy girl - ya know we'll get it right..
A rabbit and a top hat, a handkerchief and ring
With the wave of a wand he'll pull your heartstrings
He's a magician
Hoping, wishing
And you're the one vanishing
Isn't that the necklace he found behind your ear?
He's floating upside-down below a chandelier
Wishing he had the power to make you reappear
He's a magician
Hoping, wishing
And you're the one vanishing
All the words of love he longs for you to hear
He whispers them each night into a lion's ear
Under the stage lights at the Bellagio
He has got your card but you had to fly home
He's a magician
Hoping, wishing
And you're the one vanishing
You are vanishing
You are vanishing
You are vanishing
You are vanishing
He's a magician
Hoping, wishing
And you're the one
You're the one
You're the one vanishing
You are vanishing
You are vanishing
You are vanishing (a rabbit and a top hat, a handkerchief and ring)

If it takes all night
it's amazing what a light I knew
it's amazing what a light I knew
and if you think it's all her fault
that just isn't true
I didn't know that I could be so cold
I didn't know that I would ever grow
and now I'm older than I've ever known
the lack of love in my life
I used to try to crush everything
outside of what directly spoke to me
now it's not cute, this inconsistency
just a lack of love plain in sight
it's amazing what a light I knew
it's amazing what a light I knew
and if you think it's all her fault
that just isn't true
I used to say I gave her everything
but then I realized it was selfishly
you know I do just almost anything
to bring her eyes back to mine
I hate so deeply the bridge burner fame
but still I bark out like a dog on a chain
when I think of all the hearts I've left in my way
mom and dad you made a big mistake
it's amazing what a light I knew
it's amazing what a light I knew
and if you think it's all her fault
that just isn't true
so here's a song, I'll call it Finishing
please don't believe I need your sympathy
when all and all the problems rest on me
hate to be any doubt
it's amazing what a light I knew
it's amazing what a light I knew
and if you think it's all her fault
I'm breaking my lead to life
Feel like im floating
Got to make up my mind
Darkness pouring on me
Feel i got to move along
Leave it all behind me
Following down
I'm going to lose my mind
If you love me again
Vanished without a trace
Feel so strang and so alone
Can't feel without you
I'm falling down
Falling down
I'm falling down
Disappear
Disappear
Higher
Higher
Into the air
Slowly disappear
No, no longer here
Disappear
Disappear
Thinner, thinner
Into the air
Never really here
What that never
Like a thought brushing up against a sigh
Floating away
Floating away
Vanishing like a cyan sunday
Disappear
Disappear
Vanish, vanish into the air
Slowly disappear
Never really here
Floating away
Is this a fling? It's seven days and you're already vanishing
