Somethin' That'll Last |
LyricsSOMETHIN' THAT'LL LASTMark Patterson Copyright 2023 I've been chasing her since high school Back then she liked the outlaw types That landed her in a lot of hot water But she was still innocent in my eyes At our 10-year reunion we connected She said honey I don't want to go fast I'm taking my time cause I'm looking for someone Who's looking for somethin' that'll last And I'm just fine with that arrangement And I don't mind her colorful past She's just fine with my brand of derangement If there's one thing that I know Sometimes you gotta take things slow It takes time to grow somethin' that'll last Forget the fads and infatuations All of that fades so fast Don't waste your time on today's sensations Tomorrow they're forgotten and slip into the past And I'm just fine with that arrangement And I don't mind her colorful past She's just fine with my brand of derangement If there's one thing that I know Sometimes you gotta take things slow It takes time to grow somethin' that'll last Looks like we're in it for the long haul Who'd have thought we'd make it this far She calls me her Rock of Gibraltar And when I'm adrift she's my North Star If you're tired of waiting for lightening to strike And all of your hopes have been dashed Just when you're ready to throw in the towel l bet you find somethin' that'll last And I'm just fine with that arrangement And I don't mind her colorful past She's just fine with my brand of derangement If there's one thing that I know Sometimes you gotta take things slow It takes time to grow somethin' that'll last It takes time to grow somethin' that'll last It takes time to grow somethin' that'll last |
