[Verse 1:]
Oh babe, meet me in Tompkins Square Park
I wanna hold you in the dark

One last time
Just one last time


And oh babe, can you tell what's on my tongue?
Can you guess that I'll be gone?
With the twilight

With the twilight

[Hook 1:]

But no flame burns forever, oh no
You and I both know this all too well
And most don't even last the night

No they don't, they say they don't

[Verse 2:]

Oh babe, I've never been so lost
I wanna hear you lie
One last time

Just one last time

But oh babe, I really wish you would not cry

I only ever told you one lie
When it could have been a thousand
It might as well have been a thousand


[Hook 1]


[Hook 2:]
And we can talk it round again girl
Round and round, round and round again

Or we could leave it out to die
Leave it out just leave it out


[Bridge:]
I never tried to trick you babe
I just tried to work it out

But I was swallowed up by doubt
If only things were black and white
Cause I just want to hold you tight

Without holding back my mind
Without holding back my mind


[Hook 3:]
But no flame burns forever, oh no
You and I both know this all too well

And most don't even last the night
