You paint your body red But you'll always be the shadow that you're hiding in And all the things you've said You never add them up Before you pay for it Beside you now, but not for long Do you know that your Yesterday's Gone So why do you hang on When it's over And when we could be stars Why do you hang on When it is over. I know there are waves that you can take The ones you can't just wash over anyway All the ones that break before they reach your face You'll find another way We're crashing down and pulling out Your demise it gets no rest You use your will to chase the moon all night You lost our audience Without applause They walk away all right. Do you know that your Yesterday's gone So why do you hang on When it's over And when we could be stars Why do you hang on When it's over I want our names in the sky I want our names in the sky
