0:18I can't put out your fire
0:20I know it's too late
0:22I can't be up for hire
0:24It's not my best trait
0:26The gallow glass is crackin'
0:29It's startin' to smash
0:31How can you cry
0:32Without blinkin' a lash
0:37You're feelings cross
0:37And wavy on the edge of the cuff
0:41You're pushin' and poppin'
0:43You don't get enough
0:45You wish that it was over
0:47You never slow down
0:49You're lookin' for kicks
0:51There's nothing around
1:00You can't hold on too long
1:02It's alright
1:04You can't hold on too long
1:06It's alright
1:08You can't hold on too long
1:10It's alright
1:28You're surrounded by the laughin' boys
1:30They puncture your style
1:32And they send for their bandanas
1:34And you try for their smile
1:36You'd like to come in colors
1:38You don't know which one
1:40You can't be too choosy
1:42It's just for fun
1:51You can't hold on too long
1:53It's alright
1:55You can't hold on too long
1:57It's alright
1:59You can't hold on too long
2:01It's alright
2:03You can't hold on too long
2:05It's alright
2:07You can't hold on too long
2:09It's alright
2:11You can't hold on too long
2:13It's alright
2:15You can't hold on too long
2:17It's alright
2:19You can't hold on too long
2:22It's alright
I can't put out your fire I know it's too late I can't be up for hire It's not my best trait The gallow glass is crackin' It's startin' to smash How can you cry Without blinkin' a lash You're feelings cross And wavy on the edge of the cuff You're pushin' and poppin' You don't get enough You wish that it was over You never slow down You're lookin' for kicks There's nothing around You can't hold on too long It's alright You can't hold on too long It's alright You can't hold on too long It's alright You're surrounded by the laughin' boys They puncture your style And they send for their bandanas And you try for their smile You'd like to come in colors You don't know which one You can't be too choosy It's just for fun You can't hold on too long It's alright You can't hold on too long It's alright You can't hold on too long It's alright You can't hold on too long It's alright You can't hold on too long It's alright You can't hold on too long It's alright You can't hold on too long It's alright You can't hold on too long It's alright
