"Nothing Is Forever" lyrics

The day the music stopped, I swear, I almost died
I turned it off, I know, but I had to make the time
To watch some cops upstate conduct a DUI
Over and over, until I'm feeling fine
My fear grows legs, and books it to the interstate
She took the magic with her, now I have to fake it
She's at the party, before they even know my name
My fear is early each time that I am late

Nothing is forever, isn't that the sweetest song?
I heard it in the morning, overdue drops drying in the sun
And later on that night, I tried my best to sing along
'Cause nothing is forever
And I found that it had gone

The summer days painting the kitchen, killing time
The light, it filters through the curtains and the pines
The world felt slow and soft and smaller, but I didn't mind
We were happy to have the time

But nothing is forever, isn't that the saddest song?
I heard it in the morning, overdue drops drying in the sun
And later on that night, I tried my best to sing along
But nothing is forever
And I found that it had gone

The best things last, the best things go
The seasons change, the seasons' slow
The circle gained fresh fallen snow
My best friend's father, my childhood home

Nothing is forever, isn't that the saddest song?
I heard it in the morning, overdue drops drying in the sun
And later on that night, I tried my best to sing along
But nothing is forever
And I found that it had gone
