Make It Last
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's a lot on my mind so I guess that I'll take it one thing at a time,
still sometimes I can't help but wonder why...
I sit around all day and I waste my whole damn life away,
still thinkin' bout' just what there is to say.
Should I say goodnight?
...go to bed,
turn out the fucking light and leave you shining in the past.
Should I try and forget?
...even though next week it's something I'll regret.
Or,
should I try and make it last?
I think about the day when I felt you'd throw it all away to try and make me feel like I'm the one.
You were my best friend,
and I never ever thought those days would end,
but now it seems like they are gone.
What more can I say?
...I never wanted it to be this way,
and where the hell is yesterday?
...We sure had a blast!
I'm sorry that we're living in the past,
should we try and make it last?
