We started off by talking About the tattoos on her back And the bands that we both hate And anything to make the moment last Hoping you might spend a night To watch our feelings collide Seems like summer's just a state of mind I'm gonna make sure we never fall apart We're not trying hard enough So this can last forever Do you remember... Crashing parties just to get our drinks for free You would touch your skirt and tell me you had nothing on underneath But all these memories Are burning me alive Knowing, you and I might never get this right (but we're gonna have to try) And if this promise was a fading dream I'd suffocate myself to sleep For one more night of silence next to... you I'm gonna make sure we never fall apart You're not trying hard enough So this can't last forever I'll give my best shot holding onto what we've got I need to tell her that I'm ready Whether she's ready or not Are you ready or not (or not) Well are you ready or not? (Well are you ready or not, I'm ready, I'm ready) We tried, so hard that all the walls we built up... We're fake, 'cause your slipping away Like a car on ice, we're spinning out of control Like an open wound, we need some time to heal Like a cigarette, her pleasure's worth the risk Like a crowded room, my presence won't be missed She don't care, and it's not fair That I can't forget you Just knowing I've met you You're out of my life, but I'm moving on Well, she's moving on Soon I'll be gone, I'll be a million miles away I need to see you, need to touch you Like we used to misbehave If your picture's worth a thousand words I'll cut open my vocal chords One more night of silence next to you Just to spend another night with you [Girl speaking] We say all these words, we make all these promises But I need to know, can we really make this last?... forever? I'm gonna make sure we never fall apart You're not trying hard enough So this can't last forever I'll give my best shot holding onto what we've got I need to tell her that I'm ready Whether she's ready or not (Well are you ready or not?)
