Lyrics

VERSE
When I see you with him, I see excitement in your eyes
You think he’s what you want, but I also see goodbye
It’s a quick trip to the top, but the bottom comes up fast
If you want love to stay; come my way; I’ll make it last

PRE-CHORUS
Now here is what I’ve come to know…

CHORUS
Fleeting pleasures are not meant to last
They’re just little stops on the way to nowhere
They feel really good, but they fade away fast
They can leave you with a chill in the air
After all, they’re just fleeting pleasures

VERSE
I made the same mistake; I see it now, looking back
And every time I went down that path, I knew something was not right
There must be some way, somehow, to jump that track
There must be a difference, surely there is, in darkness and light

Repeat CHORUS/SOLO/BRIDGE
Perhaps from afar, but I’m so in love with you
I would make the pleasure last forever; just come to me

Repeat CHORUS/TAG
To make the pleasure last forever, just come to me
