The Shine

I slipped and fell into a rhythm with you
I jumped off the deep end, but still played it cool
Tried to pretend we're not different
And I hate that I have to admit it
But I'm done with wishing
I know it's only a matter of time
Till the shine wears off
Cause I'm all out of words
Feel alone every time we touch
The more that I hold you
The more I don't know your touch
I know it's only a matter of time
Till the shine wears off
I know that we're living inside of a dream
Cause we're trying too hard to make this a thing
Why does it feel like we're working?
You act like a whole different person
I'm tired of searching
I know it's only a matter of time
Till the shine wears off
Cause I'm all out of words
Feel alone every time we touch
The more that I hold you
The more I don't know your touch
I know it's only a matter of time
Till the shine wears off
I'll be fine, knowing it's over
Clearer eyes come with getting older
We fantasize, but we've had our days
Now your disguise has faded
Your disguise has faded away
I know it's only a matter of time
Till the shine wears off
Cause I'm all out of words
Feel alone every time we touch
The more that I hold you
The more I don't know your touch
I know it's only a matter of time
Till the shine wears off
Till the shine wears off
Feel it every time we touch
The more that I hold you
The more I don't know your touch
I know it's only a matter of time
Till the shine wears off
