Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Not talkin' 'bout a year, no, not three or four
I don't want that kind of forever in my life anymore
Forever always seems to be around when it begins
But forever never seems to be around when it ends
[Verse 2]
So give me your forever
Please, your forever
Not a day less will do
From you
[Verse 3]
People spend so much time every single day
Runnin' round all over town givin' their forever away
But no, not me, I won't let my forever roam
And now I hope I can find my forever home
[Verse 4]
So give me your forever
Please, your forever
Not a day less will do
From you
[Verse 5]
Like a handless clock with numbers and infinite of time
No, not the forever found only in the mind
Forever always seems to be around when things begins
But forever never seems to be around when things ends
[Verse 6]
So give me your forever
Please, your forever
Not a day less will do
From you
