## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I drink straight to my head

I went outside to smoke a cigarette

And I shattered my phone on the cement

But I don't give a fuck

Now I'm not making sense

I'm laughing at a joke that I don't get

I'm acting like these strangers are my friends

But I don't give a fuck

[Pre-Chorus]

Yelling at the DJ, "Bro, your shit is boring"

Doing things that I will not regret until the morning

Imma make it rain down, another round is on me

I'm just here for fun and I don't care about the money

(Hey, hey)

[Chorus]

Whoa, oh oh oh

Nothing lasts forever

But wouldn't it be nice to stay together for the night?

Whoa, oh oh

We can do whatever

As long as we're together then we're gonna be alright

Don't leave, just wait

You can tell your friends that you're staying out late, singin'

Whoa, oh oh oh

Nothing lasts forever

But wouldn't it be nice to stay together for the night?

[Verse 2]

Alright, alright, finish your G & T

The Uber's here, so now it's time to leave

Hey, driver could you pass the AUX to me?

Go ahead and turn it up

[Pre-Chorus]

Head out of the window, you could call me shameless

Waving to my people now I'm acting like I'm famous

Tell him take the long way, we could see the sunrise

Damn, you look so pretty when that sunlight hits your blue eyes

[Chorus]

Whoa, oh oh oh

Nothing lasts forever

But wouldn't it be nice to stay together for the night?

Whoa, oh oh

We can do whatever

As long as we're together then we're gonna be alright

Don't leave, just wait

You can tell your friends that you're staying out late, singing

Whoa, oh oh oh

Nothing lasts forever

But wouldn't it be nice to stay together for the night?

[Refrain]

(For the night, for the night, oh yeah)

I drink straight to my head

I went outside to smoke a cigarette

And I shattered my phone on the cement

But I don't give a fuck

(Hey)

[Chorus]

Whoa, oh oh oh

Nothing lasts forever

But wouldn't it be nice to stay together for the night? (stay together)

Whoa, oh oh

We can do whatever

As long as we're together then we're gonna be alright

Don't leave, just wait

You can tell your friends that you're staying out late, singing

Whoa, oh oh oh

Nothing lasts forever

But wouldn't it be nice to stay together for the night?
