[Verse]
I told you at the start don’t hang your dreams on me
I’m just a restless wanderer wild and running free
You tried to build a castle from whispers in the sand
But I won't change my ways or lend a steady hand
[Chorus]
Nothing lasts forever just like clouds in the sky
You can tie your heart to mine but baby I won't lie
It’s now or never in the game we chose to play
But serious isn’t written in my DNA
[Verse 2]
You said you wanted love like in those picture shows
But my heart’s a puzzle only chaos knows
You cried and said I hurt you bent beneath the truth
But I warned you I’m no saint no fountain of youth
[Bridge]
I’ve got a soul that dances never standing still
Sometimes it’s a blessing sometimes it’s a pill
So take your chances darling love the way it burns
But don’t try fixing fire when it twists and turns
[Chorus]
Nothing lasts forever just like stars up above
I can hold you tight tonight but I can’t promise love
It’s now or never in the chapters that we write
A fleeting spark that's glowing briefly in the night
[Outro]
So let’s not fight the current or try to plant a seed
We’ll live the way we want not how the world decreed
I told you from the start no rose was in my plan
I’m not the kind of lover I’m just a fleeting man
