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

Or are you without a reason to?

And what of the roots we planted

And all that we take for granted?

It withers away with the season

And leaves without giving a reason why

I'm afraid, nothing lasts

Nothing lasts long enough

I'm afraid, nothing lasts

Nothing lasts long enough

I'm afraid, nothing lasts

Nothing lasts long enough

I'm afraid, nothing lasts

Nothing lasts long enough

I'm afraid, nothing lasts

Nothing lasts long enough

I'm afraid, nothing lasts

Nothing lasts long enough

I'm afraid, that nothing lasts
