Make It Last

The fire flickers out
Making movies on her skin
And in the embers she remembers
all the places that she's been

Four-letter words fly from her mouth
She thinks she's breaking ground
Time takes its toll, she feels his soul
In everything around and I say

The way that you feel now
It's cool as long as I know
The way it's gonna be

Make it last, for an hour
we'll never feel this way again
Make it all that you want
and everything that I need

Make it last, make it last
Cause I'm not making you any promises
Make it last, make it last
Make the best of what you see

The booze reaches her blood
She forgets his name
The wood has turned to coal
but our desire feeds the flame

Will we surrender to the night
Or will our conscience win the fight
She won't regress, but can't confess
that everything's alright and I say

The way that you feel now
It's cool as long as I know
the way it's gonna be
It's gonna take more
Where we're gonna go

Make it last, for an hour
we'll never feel this way again
Make it all that you want
and everything that I need
Make it last, make it last
cause you're not making me any promises
Make it last, make it last
Make the best of what you see

You give to me what I need to see
You can't feed my imagination
You give to me what I need to see
It's a twisted fascination

It feels so good
to make it through the cold
but you know that he'll
close all the doors, just close 'em all
for the rest of time

Make it last, for an hour
we'll never feel this way again
Make it all that you want
and everything that I need
Make it last, make it last
cause you're not making me any promises
Make it last, make it last
Make the best of what you see
