[Verse 1]
Once there was a boy
Who had a vibrant glow (oh, oh, oh, oh)
But as it goes
Someone took it from him
[Verse 2]
One day through the rain
I heard him meekly moan (oh, oh, oh, oh)
He said: Will you wrap your arms around me
As I'm falling?"
[Chorus]
(Remember when, remember when)
Remember when we were all so beautiful?
(Never again, never again)
But since then we've lost our glow
[Verse 3]
They said it hurt their eyes
But he would never know (oh, oh, oh, oh)
That they were filled with regret
As their own dissipated
[Verse 4]
He said, "I now feel more desperately alone (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Even though they wrapped their arms around me
As I'd fallen"
[Chorus]
(Remember when, remember when)
Remember when we were all so beautiful?
(Never again, never again)
But since then we've lost our glow
(Remember when, remember when)
Remember when we were all so beautiful?
(Never again, never again)
But since then we've lost our glow
[Bridge]
They said it hurt their eyes
But he would never know
[Outro]
That they were claiming regret
(As their) As their own
(As they) As they dissipated
(As they) As they dissipated
(As they) As they dissipate
