Running through a red light romance
Riding to the death of the day
Red sky nights means lovers delight
And easy company to keep
I am the ache of the last days of summer
I am the whisper in the dark
I am the sweetness in the bitter kiss of a lover
I am the could've, would've, should have been
The could've, would've, should've have been
Walking through a deep depression
Stumbling through the dark of the night
Moonlit skies and nothing quite like
A romance falling apart
I am the ache of the last days of summer
I am the whisper in the dark
I am the sweetness in the bitter kiss of a lover
I am the could've, would've, should have been
The could've, would've, should've have been
Falling to a faithful father
Knowing I am more the I see
He picks me up and sets me off
A story yet to tell
Of how I went through nights so lonely
Came out the other side
With red in my eyes, and heart alight
And stories yet to tell
I was the ache of the last days of summer
I was the whisper in the dark
I was the sweetness in the bitter kiss of a lover
The could've, would've, should have been
The could've, would've, should've have been
