Lyrics
*VERSE*
The consequence of what's unsure.
Holding to your reason,
Thinking you can't close the door.
It's the human thing to do, somehow believing...
*PRE-CHORUS*
Everything's forever,
But you could burn it down in 22 seconds.
Everything is here to stay,
Leaving you a life of regret.
Everything you're after,
And you could burn it down in 22 seconds.
*CHORUS*
And so we keep this moment under our skin,
Breathing the element deeply in.
*VERSE*
Trusting what you've always known,
Clinging to a vapor.
The truth is you're not alone,
So why do we continue,
Hopelessly believing...
*PRE-CHORUS*
Everything's forever,
But you could burn it down in 22 seconds.
Everything is here to stay,
Leaving you a life of regret.
Everything you're after,
And you could burn it down in 22 seconds.
*CHORUS*
And so we keep this moment under our skin,
Breathing the element deeply in.
*BRIDGE*
You could burn it down in 22 seconds... (repeat)
Nothing lasts forever,
You could burn it down in 22 seconds.
Nothing's ever here to stay.
Leaving you a life of regret.
Everything you're after.
And you could burn it down in 22 seconds.
Burn it down in 22 seconds. (repeat)
