Songtexte Nothing Lasts - Anya Marina

I remember it like yesterday
Standing in the mirror
Must've been eight or so, I don't know
Standing toe to toe, nose to nose with myself
In the glow of a frozen moment like this
Thinking, Don't forget

Someday you'll be different
Someday you'll be tall
Your face will change
You won't be small
Someday you'll be old
Really old, like twenty-seven
(Oh, heavens!)

'Course everything changed
Everything changed, but I remained

Nothing lasts forever, nothing lasts forever
Only time never dies

It was 1985
I was skating circles in the carved up ice
At Ice Capades Chalet, Vallco Fashion Park
Underground, half in the dark
And the DJ on the overhead said, "Time to break"
So I busied myself at the video games
Galaga, Centipede, Pacman
Oh man, I was hungry
No money in hand
Two hours to kill til Burger King

And just like the clock, the Zamboni
Went round and round
At slow-mo speed
Making everything shiny again
Wiped the evidence of my perfect layback spin
Four double sals, oh wow
Wiped away the evidence

'Cause nothing lasts forever
Nothing lasts forever
Only time never dies
Nothing lasts forever
Nothing lasts forever

I was driving with my dad one day down 280
He had the radio on
He said, "Check it out, it's kind of a waltz"
Tears for Fears
He counted it out
123456, 123456, 123 123 123
"All for freedom and for pleasure, nothing ever lasts forever"
(That was the summer I discovered the White Album)

Nothing lasts forever (nothing lasts forever)
Nothing lasts forever (nothing lasts forever)
Only time never dies
Nothing lasts forever
Nothing lasts forever
Nothing lasts, nothing lasts
Nothing lasts forever
Nothing lasts, nothing lasts
Nothing lasts forever
Forever
Forever
