We started off by talking about the tattoos on her back,
and the bands that we both hate,
anything to make the moment last.
Hoping you might spend the night, and watch our feelings collide.
It seems like summer's just a state of mind.

I'm gunna make sure we never fall apart,
but you're not trying hard enough,
so this can't last forever.

Do you remember . . . crashing parties just to get our drinks for free?
You would touch your skirt and tell me you had nothing on underneath.
But all these memories,
are burning me alive,
knowing you and I might never get this right.
(but we're gunna have to try)
If this promise was a fading dream,
I'd subdicate myself to sleep,
for one more night of silence next to . . . you.

I'm gunna make sure we never fall apart,
but you're not trying hard enough
so this can't last forever.
I'll give my best shot holding onto what we've got.
I need to tell her that I'm ready,
whether she's ready or not.
(Ready or not, or not)
Well are you ready or not?
(Are you ready or not, I'm ready, I'm ready)

We tried, so hard, that all the walls we built up, were fake.
'Cause your slipping away.
Like a car on ice, we're spinning out of control.
Like an open wound, we need some time to heal.
Like a cigarette, her pleasure's worth the risk.
Like a crowded room, my presence won't be missed.
She don't care, and it's not fair,
that I can't forget you,
just knowing I've let you
out of my life, but I'm moving on . . .
Well, she's moving on.

So I'll be gone, and you'll be a million miles away.
I need to see you, need to touch you,
like we used to misbehave.
And if your picture's worth a thousand words,
i'd cut open my vocal chords,
for one more night of silence next to you.
Just to spend another night with you.

(girl speaking)
We say all these words, we make all these promises,
but how are we to know, can we really make this last?
. . . forever?

I'm gunna make sure we never fall apart,
But you're not trying hard enough,
so this can't last forever.
I'll give my best shot holding onto what we've got.
I need to tell her that I'm ready,
whether she's ready or not.
Well are you ready or not?
