Oh! This ain't gonna last forever
Once it goes, you won't ever be the same
I got wings to waste the hours
And you know I'll carry you the whole way
So they left you in their wake
Blood spilled, jewels upon a pavement
Trampled your tresses
And the mess that you became
Sure thought you were all right
When the winter turned your river to thin ice
And you've been lonely, I can see it
Sunken in your eyes
And you just
Keep it inside, keep it inside
Until you feel the land mines
Erupting under you
You keep it inside, keep it inside
Between each noon and midnight
But it's just the view
Oh! This ain't gonna last forever
Once it goes, you won't ever be the same
I got wings to waste the hours
And you know I'll carry you the whole way
(Carry you the whole way)
Oh! This ain't gonna last forever
Once it goes, you won't ever be the same
I got wings to waste the hours
And you know I'll carry you the whole way
(Carry you the whole way)
So you'd almost made up your mind
In that room where every shadow had a sharp side
No doors or windows
Almost thought you wouldn't make it through the night
And you just, and you just
Keep it inside, keep it inside
Until you feel the land mines
Erupting under you
You keep it inside, keep it inside
Between the moons and midnights
But it's just the view
Oh! This ain't gonna last forever
Once it goes, you won't ever be the same
I got wings to waste the hours
And you know I'll carry you the whole way
(Carry you the whole way)
Oh! This ain't gonna last forever
Once it goes, you won't ever be the same
I got wings to waste the hours
And you know I'll carry you the whole way
(Carry you the whole way)
When you were younger
Everyone said you should
Keep it inside, keep it inside
You wanna go under, but
You wouldn't have understood
When you were younger
Everyone said
Be your own shoulder
Better to bet you're stronger
Oh
But when your river's running to red
In case you're alone or forget
I'll brave the waters
So you won't have to
Oh! This ain't gonna last forever
Once it goes, you won't ever be the same
I got wings to waste the hours
And you know I'll carry you the whole way
(Carry you the whole way)
Oh! This ain't gonna last forever
Once it goes, you won't ever be the same
I got wings to waste the hours
And you know I'll carry you the whole way
(Carry you the whole way)
(Carry you the whole way)
(Carry you the whole way)
(Baby, I'll carry you the whole way)
I got wings to waste the hours
(Carry you the whole way)
And you know I'll carry you the whole way
Carry you the whole way
Carry you the whole way
(Once it goes, you won't ever be the same)
Carry you the whole way
Carry you the whole way
(And you know I'll carry you the whole way)
