  • Dreaming only lasts until you wake up
    And you find you're not asleep
    Silence only sticks around
    'Til someone in the room decides to speak

    And luck runs out and hearts go cold
    We're only young until we're old
    And summer leaves us wondering where it went
    The friends you have can disappear
    The whole world can change within a year
    And money only lasts until it's spent

    But you, you, you last a lifetime (you last a lifetime)
    You last a lifetime

    Truth will change and time will fly
    The party lasts until the wine's gone
    The time next week the radio
    Will change it's mind and play a different song

    We stay in touch 'til we forget
    And beauty fades, the kiss will end
    And fame will love and leave you just as fast
    You'll have it all until it's gone
    The books gets burnt, the statues fall
    Sometimes feels like nothing will ever last

    But you, you, you last a lifetime
    You last a lifetime

    Hey, love, can we dance together
    Since I found you feels like time don't matter
    Hey, love, I feel much better
    You show me forever

    You, you, you last a lifetime
    You last a lifetime Writer/s: EMELI SANDE, GLYN AIKINS, LUKE JUBY, SHAHID KHAN, STEVE MOSTYN
