You’re a ray of sunshine, nothing but,
A pair of wings on my back.
I’m just a boy on a skateboard,
With two patches on my kneecap.
The brightest stars burn fast,
Some things were never meant to last (never meant to last).

So I’m holding on, to the memories we have,
‘Cause I’m sure, I will fuck this thing up,
The first chance I have.
So I’m holding; I’m holding onto that.

Let’s lose our hair together; we don’t care,
Hook on my hand, you in stolen underwear.
So when our heart is done, heaven’s been,
I’ll still make your heart skip now like you were seventeen.
Two patches on my kneecap.
So let’s grow old and ugly, and hate the world,
Lord take my youth, but please don’t take my girl (don’t take my girl).

So I’m holding on, to the memories we have,
‘Cause I’m sure, I will fuck this thing up,
The first chance I have.
So I’m holding; holding onto that.

We all question love, I say, ‘What for?’,
I found a piratess that makes me jaw drop.
I’m off tomorrow now for six months, that’s Sod’s Law,
This girl ain’t off the shelf, mate, she’s top drawer.
Think we’ve had some times? Well, there’s lots more,
Keep kissing me, girl, what you stop for?
Other girls get me tight lipped, you drop jaw,
Not off the shelf, mate, no, she’s top drawer.

I’m holding on, to the memories we have,
‘Cause I’m sure by now, I’d have fucked it up,
The first chance I have.
And so I’m holding (holding); I guess I’m holding onto that.
Mmm.
