all these faces come and go
happy places we once knew
have been lost and died

i want to open my heart wide,
you won't feel so all alone
but i'll try
i'll try to take you home

watching the world pass us by
we keep on running, we keep on running
the air escapes me now
so where are they now?
two years on and they're all gone
we keep on running, we keep on running
where are they now?

words seem to useless now
have you forgotten how this made you feel?

all these faces come and go
happy places we once knew
have been lost and died

what if i told you that we were better off this way
and that the air was clearer because of the change
the mood has shifted
the weight has lifted
no signs of decay
now the truth is nearer
because of the change

your words are dead and useless now
have you forgotten how?

let's just say we've run our course
no need to argue or question the source
let's just say we've run our course
no need to argue or question the source

growing old but not in age
you lost your fire
you lost your rage
maybe you never had it at all

words scribbled on a page
seem so useless in this day and age
nothing means nothing any more

all these faces come and go
happy places we once knew
have been lost and died
