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
