Don't Send the Searchlights

Always leave before the lights go on.
Before the party ends, before we hit the dawn.
Always leave before tomorrow comes.
All the greatest loves are the unfinished ones.

Goodnight, goodbye.
By the time you turn around, I'll be gone.
I'll be gone.

You're water color, you will wash away.
The spark will only fade the longer that it stays.
I've been looking for your silver lining.
It's getting me nowhere.
It's a waste of time.

Don't send the searchlights.
You'll only waste your time,
looking for what is gone.
What's gone.
