Sitting on a corner street
Children playing at my feet
See the smiles on ice cream faces
Feel myself begin to sink
As the wind blows through my skin
Leaves me open to temptation
Cause nothing ever lasts forever
We're like flowers in this vase
...Together.
You and me, it's pulling me down
Tearing me down, piece by piece
And you can't see
That it's like a disease
Killing me now
It's so hard to breathe
Turning back, not to forget
Thinking about new regrets
Trying to be someone you'd like to be
Passing faces on the road
Where the hell can we still go?
Leaves us open to temptation
Cause nothing ever lasts forever
We're like flowers in this vase
Together?
You're just a face in the crowd
A tiny hole in the cloud
You're trying to find your way in
To let your soul shine back out
We're just a twist in a seam
A splash of paint on a screen
We're making all kinds of shapes
Somehow we can straighten out the bends
This is our time to feel left out
We can't rewind
We can only doubt.
Cause nothing ever lasts forever
I feel its killing me
Now
When we're together.
