Perennials

We could stay fast to the ground

Do you like hanging around?

We could stay for the season

Maybe I'd give you a reason to

Won't you return in a year

Don't you like living here?

You could stay for the season

Alright, you've run out of reasons to

And what of the roots we planted

And all what we take for granted

It withers away with the season

And leaves without giving a reason why

I'm afraid that nothing lasts

Nothing lasts long enough

I'm afraid that nothing lasts

Nothing lasts long enough

I'm afraid that nothing lasts

Nothing lasts long enough . .
