Five Minutes Like Forever

Verse 1

Struck a match in the dark tonight

Heard a line fall out just right

Felt that fire hit my veins

Like this one might outlive my name

Radio ghosts leaned in close

Like they already know

Every word cut clean and true

Like the world was waiting on what I do

Pre-Chorus

Hands quit shaking for a little while

Thought I might outrun the miles

Chorus

I get real excited, like I just changed the world

Like every broken piece finally fit and curled

For five damn minutes, I ain’t dying at all

I’m ten feet tall in a backroom brawl

Then the clock starts talking like it always has

Says “you ain’t got long, better make it last”

I get real excited… then I get real sad

This might be the last song I ever have

Verse 2

Ashtray full of almost gold

Most don’t hit, they just get old

But tonight felt different somehow

Like I finally figured it out

Heard ‘em singing in my head

Words I ain’t said yet

Saw my name in burning lights

Cutting through these busted nights

Pre-Chorus

Then that silence walks back in

Like it always wins

Chorus

I get real excited, like I just changed the world

Like every wrong turn finally meant something, girl

For five damn minutes, I don’t fade away

I’m a headline act with something to say

Then the truth sits down, stares me dead

Says “you’re running outta time,” yeah I heard what it said

I get real excited… then I get real sad

This might be the last song I ever have

Bridge

Highs burn quick, they don’t stay long

That’s the curse of living in a song

Every line could be my last shot fired

Final Chorus

I get real excited, like I just beat the end

Like I cheated death with a ballpoint pen

For five damn minutes, I’m forever young

Like the last outlaw still on the run

Then the mirror laughs, says “look at you”

“Still chasing ghosts like you always do”

I get real excited… then I get real sad

This might be the last song I ever have

Outro (tag)

So I write it down like it’s goodbye… every time
