Some things last a long time - this song is about unfulfilled expectations, the anticipation of a disappointment, and the lingering of a sadness.

lyrics

I'm pouring out my heart
For a new love.
She won't be the first,
She probably won't be enough.

I'm running out of stoplights
Between your house and mine.
I'm almost out of excuses
I'm almost out of time.

You're smiling for a picture,
I'm picking at the lawn.
Your friends will all stay;
I'll wish they were gone
So we could sit on your driveway,
And we could talk like we did,
And we could laugh like we used to
And you could help me forget.

Try not to forget me,
As you laugh at my jokes
And I'll try not to love you
As you wrinkle your nose.

Some things last a long time
Some things you'll never forget.
Some things you'll always remember,
Some things you'll always miss.
