Sleep with the TV on so I'm not alone
Sober and needy in a motel room
Why did she leave me?
What did she mean when she said, "Gotta go? "
Over-caffeinated, chewin' my cheeks
Been oversaturated, manic for weeks
Have I eliminated any chance I had for relief?
Yeah

And isn't it true?
I always reminded you of your mom
And isn't it true?
We don't get to be young for that long

I never thought that what I had
Could so easily be lost like that
An infinity was gone in seconds
Gone in seconds

You were on your own by seventeen
Went through a dozen winters with no heat
It's hard to fathom all the life
you gathered before me, yeah
And you can count the rings on the wood
Without cuttin' down the tree
Measurin' the weight of the way you lived
By what you mean to me

Yeah, I never thought that what I had
Could so easily be lost like that
An infinity was gone in seconds
Gone in seconds
Yeah, I never thought that what I had
Could so easily be lost like that
An infinity was gone in seconds
Gone in seconds

Sittin' in your living room, playin' cards
Queen of hearts
There's nothing I would rather do
Than be with you forever
But I know I'll be losin' you to the dark
'Cause nothing lasts forever

Yeah, I never thought that what I had
Could so easily be lost like that
Gone in seconds
Gone in seconds
Yeah, I never thought that what I had
Could so easily be lost like that
An infinity was gone in seconds
Gone in seconds
