Brighter still
You're burning brighter still
You think you'll never die
But one day you will
Still from now times on the side
All things pass
Beauty must decay
Hearts and wars
All are fought in vain
He might hold your hands until you're tired
[Bridge]
When they ask you you'll say
You're stopping time
[Chorus]
But it's impossible, impossible
As bright as the flames must die
Oh it's impossible, impossible
No reason or answer why
Oh it flickers and fades
And the light doesn't shade it
Everything must change, oh
Some things last forever
Some things slip away
[Verse]
Streets and towns
Streets and towns and seas
All the things you know
These have never been
So that's the sadness in the everything
[Bridge]
There'll be one when all the rest
Fall away
[Chorus]
And it's impossible, impossible
Some things cannot be done
Oh it's impossible, impossible
Sometimes you have to run
You twist and you turn
And you live and you learn and
Ever another day
Some things last forever
Some things slip away, slip away
