A Temporary Thing

[Verse]

I’ve seen couples laughin’, who have built themselves a life,

I want that feeling too, not just a few electric nights.

A kiss out in the moonlight, may be sweet and true,

But I need more than moments, what I need is me and you.

 

[Chorus]

I don’t want to be a temporary thing,

In case you’re passin’ time,

Or playing out the string.

So if you won’t commit,

You should gather up your things.

Cause I refuse to be a temporary thing.

 

[Verse]

I don’t want just a spark. I’m looking for a flame.

And a lover who's sincere, whose heart feels the same.

So I stepped up my game, and drew a line in the sand,

It's time that we commit to move forward hand in hand.

 

[Chorus]

I don’t want to be a temporary thing,

In case you’re passin’ time,

Or playing out the string.

So if you won’t commit,

You should gather up your things.

Cause I refuse to be a temporary thing.

 

[Verse]

Let's take the road less traveled, the one that never ends,

We'll build our brightest future as lovers and as friends.

And since love should last much longer than a sunburn’s sting,

The first step in my mind has a permanent ring!

 

[Chorus]

I don’t want to be a temporary thing,

In case you’re passin’ time,

Or playing out the string.

So if you won’t commit,

Go and gather up your things.

Cause I refuse to be a temporary thing.

 

Yeah I refuse to be a temporary thing.
