We Will Last

The heat from the blacktop sends

Ripples of steam through the summer air

And up from the heartland we steal through the night running anywhere

We both make a promise we seal with a kiss

We're young and we're desperate to keep it like this

We will last

I've waited so long for a love that will last

We will last

I promise you, girl, we will last

Look right in my eyes and I swear I'll believe any word you say

Take hold of my hand and we'll march

Through the land of the free and the brave

No matter how vast or rebellious we seem

We're lost in the heart of the American dream

We will last

I've waited so long for a love that will last

We will last

I promise you, girl, we will last

We both make a promise we seal with a kiss

We're young and we're desperate to keep it like this

We will last

I've waited so long for a love that will last

We will last

We will last

I've waited so long for a love that will last

We will last
