How Long Can It Last - Lyrics by Difranco Ani


Lyrics
two years agobefore we felt so familiarand before I could remember your last name
I remember nowhow our bright spring green deepenedwith the heat as the seasons changedwe were lush as the underside of august.the streets looked like water.they swelled and they shimmeredand they stretched like the sea.and dressed in my best shining skinand my squinty eyes,I put the miles behind me.it took us so long to get here.you gotta write between lines.you gotta read between the years.and fleetingly we see ourselves passdriving a good thing and wondering,how long can it last?and there was much to forgiveand there was much to forget.it seems we both stood by while the record was set.and now when I look at you and when you look at meit's a much different viewwe are both decked out in our history.it took us so long to get here.you gotta write between lines.you gotta read between the years.
And fleetingly we see ourselves passdriving a good thing and wondering,how long can it last?
