[Intro]
That's what they say
Time's just pocket change
That I'm wasting away
Grieving what's still alive
And fighting with an ache that won't subside
[Chorus]
Nothing good ever lasts
Girl I was never came back
Staying up, falling off track
So much I wish I knew
Flew too close to the sun
Who I was, she was made up
Threw a punch, had to take one
[Post-Chorus]
It's what they say
Time's just pocket change (Ooh)
That I'm wasting away
Grieving what's still alive
And fighting with an ache that won't subside
[Verse]
Is it already over?
Sidewalk scraping our knees
Going halves on a tangerine
Wanna know why everything worth holding
Turns to a blur in a distance
That's why I'm clenching my fists
[Pre-Chorus]
I know all of this is what it is
You don't get the same day twice
Still every night
There's something that won't heal, don't feel right
[Chorus]
Nothing good ever lasts
Girl I was never came back
Staying up, falling off track
So much I wish I knew
Flew too close to the sun
Who I was, she was made up
Threw a punch, had to take one
[Post-Chorus]
It's what they say
Time's just pocket change (Ooh)
That I'm wasting away
Grieving what's still alive
And fighting with an ache that won't subside
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, ah
Ah, oh
[Bridge]
All of this is what it is
You don't get the same day twice
Still every night
There's something that won't heal, don't feel right
[Chorus]
Nothing good ever lasts (Don't last)
Girl I was never came back (Came back)
Staying up, falling off track (Ooh)
So much I wish I knew
Flew too close to the sun (Yeah, yeah)
Who I was, she was made up (Made up)
Threw a punch, had to take one
[Post-Chorus]
It's what they say (They say)
Time's just pocket change (Change, ooh)
That I'm wasting away
Grieving what's still alive (Ooh)
And fighting with an ache that won't subside
[Outro]
Ah, na-na-na-na, mm
