“Forever”
Let’s grind down the curve of this earth
You look fine in the evening, and, honey, it’s starting to storm
When we kissed in the car in the school parking lot
Where I’d go with my friends to get drunk
Used to wish I meant anything to anywhere, to anyone
When forever was a sentence, sentence to death
Oh, when you were a running tear, I was a drop of sweat
And the edges of your soul, I haven’t seen yet
Now I’m glad I get forever to see where you end
I won’t be alone for the rest of my life
I’ll build a boat for when the river gets high
And I’ll meet a girl in the heat of July
And I’ll tell her so she knows
That I’m broke, but I’m real rich in my head
That I broke a bone that never healed in my hand
So when I hold her close, I might loosen my grip
But I won’t ever let her go
I won’t ever let her go
Remember when we called the cops
‘Cause you got too high
And you got scared?
The cops just laughed
We can’t make rent, so we window-shop
In the Upper West Side
Oh, my God
Could you imagine that?
I won’t be alone for the rest of my life
I’ll build a boat for when the river gets high
And I’ll meet a girl in the heat of July
And I’ll tell her so she knows
That I’m broke, but I’m real rich in my head
That I broke a bone that never healed in my hand
So when I hold her close, I might loosen my grip
But I won’t ever let her go
I won’t ever let her go
When forever was a sentence, sentence to death
Oh, when you were a running tear, I was a drop of sweat
And the edges of your soul, I haven’t seen yet
Now I’m glad I get forever to see where you end
To see where you end
