"Shelf Life" lyrics

Beautiful, so incredible
No, it seems like nothing exists outside of this bed
I never learned
How to slow-burn
But there's nothing as real as the warmth of your cheek on my chest

I'm slipping into a trance
I'm falling into a craze
You laugh at all of my jokes
I know they're never that great
I give you all that I have
I'd build you Rome in a day
Wish I could bottle your life
For all those nights I'm away

Everyone has a plan
'Til winter and its long nights
But every season ends
Everything has a shelf life

Your heart bears what it can
But everyone goes through hell twice
And every great story ends
Everything has a shelf life

I'm gonna be honest for once
'Cause you deserve it, my love
You know you're everything
But not right now
You know you're medicine
To a lonely heart

You're wonderful
Do you hear me, love?
I could die in your arms
With my head on your heart
With a grin

I'm slipping into a trance
I'm falling into a craze
You laugh at all of my jokes
I know they're never that great
I give you all that I have
I'd build you Rome in a day
Wish I could bottle your life
For all those nights I'm away

'Cause everyone has a plan
'Til winter and its long nights
But every season ends
Everything has a shelf life

Your heart bears what it can
But everyone goes through hell twice
And every great story ends
Everything has a shelf life

And I wish it wasn't so
But this ship is rigged to blow
So, enjoy it
I implore you
When I leave, stay away from the window

Darling, I told you from the start
Was only looking at the art
But every great story ends
Everything has a shelf life

Every season ends
Everything has a shelf life
