Lyrics for Passing Strangers

We were so young, we were too vain Dance in the dark, sing in the rain Time on our hands, hope in our hearts We were talking, passing strangers Moments caught across an empty room Wasted whispers, faded secrets Quickly passes, time goes, time goes by too soon We stood alone, silent and proud Moments unknown, lost in a crowd Running through memories like thieves in the night Clutching emotions, holding too tight Hold turns to dust, shattered by light We were talking, passing strangers Moments caught across an empty room Wasted whispers, faded secrets Quickly passes, time goes, time goes by too soon We were talking, passing strangers Moments caught across an empty room Wasted whispers, faded secrets Quickly passes, time goes, time goes by too soon We were talking, passing strangers Moments caught across an empty room Wasted whispers, faded secrets
