Life is for an Hour

Letter folded in a cotton pocket with a
Pencil loaded poised for all the words to come
Caught before they could decay
The Gorgeous Nothings of her day

If life is for an hour I was seconds with you
Time enough to flower for you to imbue
Cool colours of lasting fast inspiration
Life is for an hour

Notebooks buried in a box beneath the bed
All the worries that he wrote but never said
Found before it was too late
Lonely letters and mixtapes

If life is for an hour I was seconds with you
Time enough to flower for you to imbue
Cool colours of lasting fast inspiration
Life is for an hour
Life is for an hour

Paradox, paradigm, oh you can't live a life without saying goodbye
Love unlost, love unwind
Oh don't leave me behind
Without saying goodbye

If life is for an hour I was seconds with you
Time enough to flower for you to imbue
Cool colours of lasting fast inspiration
Life is for an hour
Life is for an hour
Life is for an hour
