[Verse 1]

And we were drinking down in the basement with all my best friends so we can fit in

Well we got bottles, and we got cans

And we got poetry that’s written on our unwashed hands

Well I had heart, it was riddled with holes

We were riddled with youth, this is riddled with gold

But you were always so afraid of losing everything you loved

And I was nothing more than high school saying I don’t give a fuck


[Chorus]

I crashed my car into your house, the flames were spreading fast

And I was way too weak to move, this was way too good to last

So we won’t last

The flames are spreading way too fast, and we won’t last

No we won't last, no we won't last


[Verse 2]

And I’ve been listening to songs when all I wanna do is write

And we were drinking on the sidewalk almost every single night

And I got scared I missed your call

I was sleeping in the park, but when the message finally sent

I couldn’t read it in the dark


[Chorus]

I crashed my car into your house, the flames were spreading fast

And I was way too weak to move, this was way too good to last

So we won’t last

The flames are spreading way too fast, and we won’t last


[Verse 3]

And I am sorry, that I am not the same kid I was

Back in school, but I have finally changed

It took a long, long time and I lost most my friends, but I am never coming back home

And I am sorry, that I am not the same kid I was back in school, but I have finally changed

It took a long, long time and I lost most my friends, but I am never coming back

Yeah
