Texty: Matthew Sweet. Girlfriend. Nothing Lasts.

If one could stop time
Or make it up
If two could realize
The best of luck
If I could locate
God above
And you only wanted
To be loved

Then I'd try to hang on
To the past
But you know
That nothin'
Oh no, nothin' lasts
Nothin' lasts

It's time to move on
Let the past go
I've waited for you here
But you never showed
Although I asked you
To let me know
I only felt
A cold wind blow

While I tried to hang on
To the past
But you know
That nothin'
Oh no, nothin' lasts

Nothing's in your way
Now you can stand
Right up and run
Wouldn't even change things
If you took back
What you'd done

I have tried to hang
On to the past
But I couldn't keep my grasp
'Cause nothin' lasts
Nothin' lasts
Nothin' lasts
Nothin' lasts
