Looking at a photograph on Independence Day
The fireworks just fade away
Everything I thought was real, everyone I know
They disappeared so long ago
[preChorus]
Ain't it a shame, the way they mess around with your heart
Who's to blame? It's been alchemy from the start
Ain't it a shame
[hook]
When the darkness takes over the light
And the night never returns to day
When the Sun finally consumes us whole
(Dream forever) Dream forever, none of this was real
Ain't it a shame (x3)
Flying in my hovercraft, when lightning strikes
So much for going home tonight
Everything I'd kill to change all the wrongs I'd right
All up in smoke in a flash of light
[preChorus x2]
Ain't it a shame
[hook]
Ain't it a shame (x8)
Dream forever (x3)
Everything I thought was real, everyone I know
They disappeared so long ago
