The Fsun will kiss your eyelids open
FmYou'll wake to find your heart unbroken
CYou may not see it Amnow but just hold Gon

He's Gmade himself at home inside your Cheart
There's nothing C7left to say
But Fsoon the light will send him packing
FmHe'll find the conversation lacking
You'll Cwake up one fine Amday and he'll be Ggone
I know it won't last for FlongC

This song, "It Wont Last For Long," carries a feeling of gentle melancholy and the transient nature of things. It plays like a quiet reflection on the impermanence of life's moments.
