Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's no time for us
There's no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams
Yet slips away from us?
[Chorus]
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
Ooh
[Verse 2]
There's no chance for us
It's all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment
Set aside for us
[Chorus]
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
Ooh
Who dares to love forever?
Oh whoa, when love must die
[Bridge]
But touch my tears
With your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our today
[Chorus]
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our today
[Chorus]
Who waits for forever, anyway?
