Lyrics
Yeah I’m headed to the store I’ll be right back,
Expressing intention to go to the store temporarily.
Fuck you slow looking fast on the time lapse
Expressing frustration with someone who appears slow but is moving quickly on a time lapse.
Take a photo baby it’ll make the time last,
Suggesting taking a photo to preserve a moment and make time seem longer.
Time machine to bring us all those summer nights back,
Desiring a time machine to relive past summer nights.
Nothing lasts forever, yeah
Stating a general truth that nothing lasts forever.
Nothing lasts forever
Repeating the idea that nothing lasts forever for emphasis.
Polaroid selfie, you and me,
Describing a Polaroid selfie and the desire to thaw frozen memories.
Pose freeze, shake it out, thaw these cryo-frozen memories,
Using a metaphor of cryo-frozen memories and acknowledging the bittersweet nature of smiles.
These smiles feel so bittersweet
Reflecting on past plans with a mix of joy and sadness.
Reminiscing bout the plans we had with sympathy for who we used to be,
Recalling plans with sympathy for the person they used to be.
Rewind and keep my eyes straight ahead
Expressing a desire to rewind and focus on the future.
Leave my side girls on read
Deciding to ignore distractions (girls on read) and avoid emotional manipulation.
No more fuckin with my head, this time
Determined to avoid confusion and emotional distress.
I’d choose you up front, not at the end
Expressing a commitment to prioritize the other person from the beginning.
Let you win and end the war before it even begins, yeah
Willingness to compromise and end conflicts early.
Yeah I’m headed to the store I’ll be right back,
Repeating the intention to go to the store temporarily.
Fuck you slow looking fast on the time lapse
Reiterating frustration with someone moving fast on a time lapse.
Take a photo baby it’ll make the time last,
Repeating the idea of capturing moments in a photo to make time last.
Time machine to bring us all those summer nights back,
Reiterating the desire for a time machine to relive past summer nights.
But nothing lasts forever, yeah,
Repeating the general truth that nothing lasts forever.
Nothing lasts forever.
Reiterating the concept that nothing lasts forever.
No! Ain’t nothin gone last,
Rejecting the idea that anything will last.
Now I’m flyin, doin 95 bout to crash, ooo
Describing a reckless behavior and a feeling of impending disaster.
And you can kiss my ass,
Expressing defiance and frustration.
Cuz every time I put you first, you just left me last
Feeling neglected despite putting the other person first.
You don’t care you hurting me,
Observing the emotional pain caused by the other person's actions.
Cut my heart open I’m feeling like an open surgery
Metaphorically comparing heartbreak to open surgery.
Oh, It’s a murder scene,
Describing the emotional aftermath as a murder scene.
So when you fuckin broke my heart I can’t believe you hurt a g
Expressing disbelief at being hurt by someone they trusted.
Mmm, Now I’m bleeding,
Describing the emotional pain and sadness.
And I’m so fuckin sad cuz I can’t see you on the weekends
Expressing sadness at not being able to see the person on weekends.
Hold your head and look into your eyes while you speakin
Expressing a deep connection and vulnerability.
I really feel like I can’t survive without you I’m tweaking,
Feeling dependent on the other person and experiencing emotional turmoil.
Mmm, nothing lasts forever… no, no
Repeating the idea that nothing lasts forever, emphasizing the impermanence of the situation.
Nothing lasts forever.
Reiterating the concept that nothing lasts forever.
Yeah I’m headed to the store I’ll be right back,
Repeating the intention to go to the store temporarily.
Fuck you slow looking fast on the time lapse
Reiterating frustration with someone moving fast on a time lapse.
Take a photo baby it’ll make the time last,
Repeating the idea of capturing moments in a photo to make time last.
Time machine to bring us all those summer nights back,
Reiterating the desire for a time machine to relive past summer nights.
But nothing lasts forever, yeah
Repeating the general truth that nothing lasts forever.
Nothing lasts forever.
Reiterating the concept that nothing lasts forever.
