Brief And Bright

Here, you and I
Something in the dreams of life
Fixed inside a moment
Carried on a wave of light

Here, you and I
Nothing but points in time
Only for a moment
Balanced on the brink of night

Good evening everyone
Who knows how long before we're done?
Please, no guarantees
There's only so far we can run

When forgotten days
Stretch off like shuttered roofs
Will you be running through your list
Of everything you meant to do?
When not so long ago
It was nothing but open doors
Nothing but time
Albeit yours
Albeit yours

Good evening everyone
Who knows how long before we're done?
Please, no guarantees
There's only so far we can run

And if it must be brief and bright
A moment's lightning in the dark
Then we should dive into this night
Like it's the only one we've got

And if it must be brief and bright
A moment's lightning in the dark
Then we should dive into this night
Like it's the only one we've got
