Nothing Lasts Forever
Close To Home Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So hold on and be strong,
When your world's caving in,
Before long, you'll be gone.

The steady roads, will lead me right beside you,
This repetition will kill me
I always thought I would be,
The very best person you'd see, I was wrong
But all these signals bring me back, to the start

And all the clocks turn,
But these pictures never change,
I've been spinning in circles for days.

So hold on and be strong,
When your world's caving in,
Before long, you'll be gone.
('cause nothing lasts forever)
So save your final breath (final breath)
And let them carry away
Before long, you'll be gone.
('cause nothing lasts forever)

This is your chance,
To break free from this,
Let the rope steer you clear from dead end.
I find myself, in a better direction.
Keep my feet back on solid ground

And all the clocks turn,
But these pictures never change,
I've been spinning in circles for days.

So hold on and be strong,
When your world's caving in,
Before long, you'll be gone.
('cause nothing lasts forever)
So save your final breath (final breath)
And let them carry away
Before long, you'll be gone.
('cause nothing lasts forever)

OH

So hold on and be strong,
When your world's caving in,
Before long, you'll be gone.

So hold on and be strong,
When your world's caving in,
Before long, you'll be gone.
('cause nothing lasts forever)
So save your final breath (final breath)
And let them carry away




Before long, you'll be gone.
('cause nothing lasts forever)
