Nothing Lasts Forever – enoone | In the Lobby

Описание: “In the lobby, while life plays upstairs.”

Nothing Lasts Forever is for the ones still awake at 3 a.m.
For the ones who stayed too long, left too late, or never quite left at all.

For anyone who’s watched the years move faster than the plans.
For anyone who’s ever felt time tapping its foot in the corner of the room.

No romance.
No nostalgia.
Just the sound of the clock and the smoke.

From the EP:
In the Lobby, While Life Plays Upstairs

LYRICS:
There’s a clock on the wall that’s been side-eyeing me,
Ticks like it knows all the dirt underneath.
The night’s got its lipstick smudged on the glass,
And the ashtray’s a graveyard for hours that passed.

Nothing lasts forever,
That’s the cruelest truth I’ve learned.
Time walks out with your coat on,
And don’t bother to return.

The candles ain’t candles, they’re countdown machines,
Melting down faces I’ve worn in my teens.
They’re dancing two streets away in some scene I can’t crash,
While I’m counting the laps like it’s all just a dash.

Nothing lasts forever,
That’s the cruelest truth I’ve learned.
Time walks out with your coat on,
And don’t bother to return.

So spin that last record, let the needle confess,
About the dreams I mislaid in a suit and a desk.
We’ll toast to the end like it’s some kind of joke,
While the hands on the clock put their hands ‘round my throat.

Nothing lasts forever,
And maybe that’s how it’s meant.
But if I’ve got a minute left,
I’ll spend it already spent.

The nights get shorter,
The mirror grows bold.
And the stories I was meant to live
Are already being told.
