It Never Seems to Last

in a moment buildings rise up as they start to fall

it's in these seconds that she swears you can't hear much at all

it never seems to last

in this warm wet rain i come around again

and with this sense of rapture i could only lose my head

it never seems to last

so put on sunday shoes and dance the breakdown

and here we find ourselves in motion on and off again

so lose the dead weight darling it's everything you've never been

it never seems to last

if i could get this close to open hands like open flames

then i might find myself in different faces, different names

but it never seems to last

so put on sunday shoes and dance the breakdown

madeline in pictures by the sea

it's always there

it's always wrong

laugh

but it'll get you, wait and see.
