[Verse 1]
Well, I got us on a highway, I got us in a car
Got us going faster than we've ever gone before
I got us on a highway, I got us in a car
Got us going faster than we've ever gone before
[Chorus]
And I know it ain't gonna last
And I know it ain't gonna last
When I see your eyes arrive
They explode like two bugs on glass
[Verse 2]
Far above the ocean, deep under the sea
There's a river running dry cause of you and me
Far above the ocean, deep under the sea
There's a river running dry cause of you and me
[Chorus]
And I know it ain't gonna last
And I know it ain't gonna last
When I see your eyes arrive
They explode like two bugs on glass
[Verse 3]
She's a goddess on a highway, a goddess in a car
A Goddess going faster than she's ever gone before
She's a goddess on the highway, a goddess in a car
A Goddess going faster than she's ever gone before
[Chorus]
And I know it ain't gonna last
And I know it ain't gonna last
When I see your eyes arrive
They explode like two bugs on glass
[Outro]
And I know it ain't gonna last
And I know it ain't gonna last
And I know it ain't gonna last
And I know it ain't gonna last
It ain't gonna last
It ain't gonna last
It ain't gonna last
It ain't gonna last...
