Fleeting
You held my hand on a January evening still talking about the past
A tell tale sign, holding on to memories, wishing they would last
It was love on paper
But never in practice
"Let's save it for later."
You strung me along like a shooting star's promise
Who do we blame when the waves get out of hand
As it washes away our names written on the sand
As the sun fades away, did we ever stop to think
Were we too close to the shore when the ship started to sink
I held your hand on a February morning, knowing it's our last
Cut me to the core, fleeting and everlasting
Like the scars from our past
It was love on paper
But never in practice
"Let's save it for later."
You strung me along like a shooting star's promise
Who do we blame when the waves get out of hand
As it washes away our names written on the sand
As the sun fades away, did we ever stop to think
Were we too close to the shore when the ship started to sink
While I lauded your convictions, you denied me like a guilty pleasure
You held my heart like a trinket, I held yours like a treasure
But the spell wore off, enchanted no more
The love they all sing about, was locked out from my score
The last one to leave, the first one to fall
A bad excuse is better than nothing at all, nothing at all
Who do we blame when the waves get out of hand
As it washes away our names written on the sand
As the sun fades away, did we ever stop to think
Were we too close to the shore when the ship started to sink
Did we ever stop
Did we ever stop to think
Did we ever stop to think
We were so close we almost made it
Now we're sinking down
It was fleeting and everlasting
A tell tale sign, holding on to memories, wishing they would last
It was love on paper
But never in practice
"Let's save it for later."
You strung me along like a shooting star's promise
Who do we blame when the waves get out of hand
As it washes away our names written on the sand
As the sun fades away, did we ever stop to think
Were we too close to the shore when the ship started to sink
I held your hand on a February morning, knowing it's our last
Cut me to the core, fleeting and everlasting
Like the scars from our past
It was love on paper
But never in practice
"Let's save it for later."
You strung me along like a shooting star's promise
Who do we blame when the waves get out of hand
As it washes away our names written on the sand
As the sun fades away, did we ever stop to think
Were we too close to the shore when the ship started to sink
While I lauded your convictions, you denied me like a guilty pleasure
You held my heart like a trinket, I held yours like a treasure
But the spell wore off, enchanted no more
The love they all sing about, was locked out from my score
The last one to leave, the first one to fall
A bad excuse is better than nothing at all, nothing at all
Who do we blame when the waves get out of hand
As it washes away our names written on the sand
As the sun fades away, did we ever stop to think
Were we too close to the shore when the ship started to sink
Did we ever stop
Did we ever stop to think
Did we ever stop to think
We were so close we almost made it
Now we're sinking down
It was fleeting and everlasting
