When the sun fell
We knew too well
Not to leave our homes
That blinding flash
I had to ask
Are we sure this world is our own?
When the sun fell
Right through our cells
As it crashed into a cloud
We were hearing
Engines screeching
Rip the air inside out
When the sun fell
I heard you all yell
You can't see how I've grown
Hear echoes bounce
Through empty towns
Now that I'm all alone
When the sun fell
You shed your shells
I still repeat your names
Though you've dissolved
With shapes in the walls
You're with me when it rains
When the sun fell
I couldn't tell
If our promise could come true
That when this ends
Don't you forget
Meet me back here, won't you?
