[Verse 1: Alex Palermo]

When you heard your own voice on the answering machine

Filled with tape and hiss and without body

[Pre-Chorus: Alex Palermo]

I know what the feeling means

I know what it means without you

[Chorus: Alex Palermo]

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

It was never meant to last

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

It was never meant to last

[Guitar Duet]

[Verse 2: Alex Palermo]

Between the shadows and ghosts there’s proof when you see your own breath

Alternative reflections on VHS, oh, oh

[Pre-Chorus: Alex Palermo & Lydia Loveless]

I know what the feeling means

I know what it means without you

[Chorus: Alex Palermo & Lydia Loveless]

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Never meant to last

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Never meant to last

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Never meant to last

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Never meant to last (Whoo!)

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Bridge: Alex Palermo & (Lydia Loveless)]

Isn’t there somewhere I ought to be (Ought to be)

Isn’t there anything on TV? (On TV)

Isn’t there someone I ought to be?

So strange so strange, hanging phantom holds on me

[Outro: Alex Palermo & Lydia Loveless]

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh
