The fire flickers out

Making movies on her skin

And in the embers she remembers

all the places that she's been



Four-letter words fly from her mouth

She thinks she's breaking ground

Time takes its toll, she feels his soul

In everything around and I say



The way that you feel now

It's cool as long as I know

The way it's gonna be



Make it last, for an hour

we'll never feel this way again

Make it all that you want

and everything that I need



Make it last, make it last

Cause I'm not making you any promises

Make it last, make it last

Make the best of what you see



The booze reaches her blood

She forgets his name

The wood has turned to coal

but our desire feeds the flame



Will we surrender to the night

Or will our conscience win the fight

She won't regress, but can't confess

that everything's alright and I say



The way that you feel now

It's cool as long as I know

the way it's gonna be

It's gonna take more

Where we're gonna go



Make it last, for an hour

we'll never feel this way again

Make it all that you want

and everything that I need

Make it last, make it last

cause you're not making me any promises

Make it last, make it last

Make the best of what you see



You give to me what I need to see

You can't feed my imagination

You give to me what I need to see

It's a twisted fascination



It feels so good

to make it through the cold

but you know that he'll

close all the doors, just close 'em all

for the rest of time



Make it last, for an hour

we'll never feel this way again

Make it all that you want

and everything that I need

Make it last, make it last

cause you're not making me any promises

Make it last, make it last

Make the best of what you see
