We Were Never Meant to Last

Verse

Silver lighter, empty tank, Volvo on the coastline

Salt spray on the windshield, your hand keeping time

Four a.m. neon bleeding into blue

Nobody's forever but tonight I've got you

Pre-Chorus

So why does it feel like forever

When we both know it's borrowed time

Tell me why I keep chasing weather

That was never gonna be mine

Chorus

We were never meant to last

But I'm holding on anyway

Fingers wrapped around the flash

Of a feeling I won't let fade

Burn it slow, burn it fast

We were never meant to last

So I'm holding on anyway

Verse

Your jacket's still hung on the back of my chair

Cigarette smoke and the taste of the air

Northern lights flicker like they're keeping score

I don't need forever, just a little bit more

Pre-Chorus

So why does it feel like forever

When we both know it's borrowed time

Tell me why I keep chasing weather

That was never gonna be mine

Chorus

We were never meant to last

But I'm holding on anyway

Fingers wrapped around the flash

Of a feeling I won't let fade

Burn it slow, burn it fast

We were never meant to last

So I'm holding on anyway

Bridge

Maybe that's the reason it shines so bright

Not built for morning, just built for the night

I'm not scared of losing what I never owned

I just want the feeling long after you're gone

Chorus

We were never meant to last

But I'm holding on anyway

Fingers wrapped around the flash

Of a feeling I won't let fade

Burn it slow, burn it fast

We were never meant to last

So I'm holding on

So I'm holding on anyway
