It's getting late
It all just wanes and pales and fades away
If we just want it too much
And what a shame if all there is
Is all that's gone away
There's nothing left here for us
Dead light holiday
Killing time to make us stay
Hollow as the promises of yesterday
On and on the music plays
Memories in paraphrase
Falling past my window
Like the morning rain
It's all the same
So many words remaining
Always too late
It never seems worth taking
And all the days
And all the nights lost sleeping
And in the end
The secret not worth keeping
It all just wanes and pales and fades away
If we just want it too much
And what a shame if all there is
Is all that's gone away
There's nothing left here for us
Dead light holiday
Killing time to make us stay
Hollow as the promises of yesterday
On and on the music plays
Memories in paraphrase
Falling past my window
Like the morning rain
It's all the same
So many words remaining
Always too late
It never seems worth taking
And all the days
And all the nights lost sleeping
And in the end
The secret not worth keeping

Basically, there were times that had meaning and they were fun and good, but somehow, or for some reason they all ended. Now there's nothing left to do, sad isn't it? "Killing time to make us stay" Apparently they want to stay so they look for things to do to give them a reason to stay. "Deadlight" means to block out light, so this holiday that they speak of is a dark and gloomy one. As for, "Memories in paraphrase" well, I looked up the meaning of paraphrase and it said, restatement of a text, passage, or work giving the meaning in another form. So I think what they are saying is they are trying to think of their memories in different ways. Analizing these lyrics seem pretty tough but I think I have a good idea of what the song means. I hope my comment helped others.
Pretty much.
