Make It Last

We could make it last
Until a quarter to midnight
Just keep our thoughts crass
And our words cryptic

We could make it last
Until a inch to the ledge
Just promise unconditional
And give everything

We could make it last
Until a heartbeat to silence
Just lie to each other
And a million second chances

We could make it last
Until our epiphany manifests
Just yell, block out sound
And keep swinging

We could make it last
Until we’re both the last
We’ve gone so far
But haven’t even moved

I can’t make it last
Until eternity is through
Just walk away
And don’t look back
