Fleeting Glimpses Lyrics

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
