Ani Difranco - How Long Can It Last lyrics

Two years ago Before you felt so familiar Before i could remember your last name I remember now How our bright spring green deepened With the years the seasons changed And we were lush as the underside of august The streets looked like water They swelled and they shimmered And they stretch like the sea And dressed in my best shining skin And my squiny eyes I put the miles behind me And it took us so long to get here You gotta write between lines You gotta read between the years And fleetingly we see ourselves pa** Driving a good thing And wondering how long can it last How long can it last How long can it last How long can it last And there was much to forgive And there was much to forget It seems we both stood by While the record was set And now when i look at you And when you look at me It's a much different view We are both decked out in our history And it took us so long to get here You gotta write between the lines And read between the years And feetingly we see ourselves pa** Driving a good thing And wondering, how long can it lost How long can it last etc.
