It took three rounds of coke and crown
Till you sat down and asked me for my name
A couple weeks of you texting me
Till finally we went on that first date
It took two more for that first kiss
Went from some girl to your girlfriend
It was back and forth, your place or mine
Yet we were taking our time
It took ten months and two tanks of gas
To take me back to your hometown
Ten thousand eyes and five dollar flouts
For those three words to fall out
Four years of memories and a million more to make
So how come goodbye is all it takes
To lose forever in a day
Forever, forever
No, it ain't just a fact
Staying up all night
It's the waking up like nothing ever happened
Yeah, it starts with a smile
It's the elephant in the room
You think it's all wrapping out of the blue
Your blue sky starts crashing
And you can't help but keep on asking
How it took ten months and two tanks of gas
To take me back to your hometown
Ten thousand eyes and five dollar flouts
For those three words to fall out
Four years of memories and a million more to make
So how come goodbye is all it takes
To lose forever in a day
Yeah, it takes more than a thousand miles
On a truck before it breaks
But it only takes two people walking away
To lose forever in a day
Forever in a day
Forever in a day
Yeah, it took ten months and two tanks of gas
To take me back to your hometown
Ten thousand eyes and five dollar flouts
For those three words to fall out
Four years of memories and a million more to make
A million more to make
So how come goodbye is all it takes
To lose forever in a day
Forever in a day
Forever in a day
Forever in a day
