lyrics

One time you look across at me
You're the clearest vision I can see like you give a damn
But you take up empty space just a moment later
And you seem like a waster just a moment later

I don't handle regret well
You make me feel old and bitter

But surely everything isn't momentary
Everything isn't momentary
Everything isn't momentary
Something will hold and something will stay

It's all of the things I need
All the things I want - sometimes I need to slow down
But I don't handle mistakes well
I just want to get it one time, I just want to get it right one time

But surely everything isn't momentary
Everything isn't momentary
Everything isn't momentary
Something will hold and something will stay

I often try to comprehend why I even bother
But any excuse is making me lose my way
Crystal clear sight 'cause one day I might stumble
Doesn't everyone?
Doesn't everyone?

But surely everything isn't momentary
Everything isn't momentary
Everything isn't momentary
Something will hold and something will stay
