Lyrics

[Verse 1: Noah Kahan] It's not the long, flowing dress that you're in Or the light coming off of your skin The fragile heart you've protected for so long The mercy in your sense of right and wrong It's not your hands searching slow in the dark Or your nails leaving love's watermark It's not the way you talk me off the roof Your questions like directions to the truth [Chorus: Noah Kahan] It's knowing that this can't go on forever It's likely one of us will have to spend some days alone Maybe we'll get forty years together But, one day, I'll be gonе One day, you'll be gone [Verse 2: Wesley Schultz] If wе were vampires, and death was a joke We'd go out on the sidewalk and smoke And laugh at all the lovers and their plans I wouldn't feel the need to hold your hand Maybe time running out is a gift I'll work hard 'til the end of my shift And give you every second I can find And hope it isn't me who's left behind [Chorus: Wesley Schultz] It's knowing that this can't go on forever It's likely one of us will have to spend some days alone Maybe we'll get forty years together But, one day, I'll be gone And, one day, you'll be gone [Instrumental Break] [Chorus: Noah Kahan & Wesley Schultz] It's knowing that this can't go on forever It's likely one of us will have to spend some days alone Maybe we'll get forty years together One day, I'll be gone And, one day, you'll be gone [Outro: Noah Kahan & Wesley Schultz] It's knowing that this can't go on forever It's likely one of us will have to spend some days alone Maybe we'll get forty years together But, one day, I'll be gone And, one day, you'll be gone
