Fools for the Fleeting Lyrics by Katie Pruitt
We split the rent but we doubled the pain
Summers we spent out on Lake Coeur d’Alene
Wishing somebody had told us God numbered the days
No point in guessing how this story goes
Memories that cling to the seams of our clothes
A thread that unravels can’t sew itself back on its own
‘Cause history’s bound for repeating
And young love is proud for believing
Moments are sweetly misleading
And we are just fools for the fleeting
The fleeting
Paper-mache houses never could stand
Wishes will slip through the palm of your hand
And make you feel crazy for craving somebody who stays
But this time, I won’t beg the moment to last
‘Cause love is a question you don’t have to ask
I just hope you don’t mind, if I take my time turning the page
‘Cause history’s bound for repeating
And young love is proud for believing
Moments are sweetly misleading
And we are just fools for the fleeting
The fleeting
Do we hold on a little too long?
Do we fold when the future’s unknown?
Do we hold on a little too long?
Do we hold on?
Do we hold on?
‘Cause history’s bound for repeating
And young love is proud for believing
Moments are sweetly misleading
And we are just fools for the fleeting
Love doesn’t keep you from leaving
And time doesn’t stop for the grieving
Memories will always have meaning
And we are just fools for the fleeting
The fleeting
The fleeting
The fleeting
