forever

i've been thinking about those summer nights
playing hide and seek in the cemetery
freaked out of our minds
i've been thinking about another lifetime
i know i was there but it doesn't feel fair
cause it doesn't feel mine

you said you wanted to believe in something
i guess i thought it could be me

i couldn't wait
forever felt like such a long time
up all night
sanguine and wide-eyed
there was a day
i thought that things would be just fine
and forever felt like such a long time

i've been thinking about the long goodbyes
you couldn't stay away
to save your life
i've been thinking about the thing that died
and i can't get it back no matter how nice i ask
oh, trust me i've tried

you said you needed to be free, and later on
you said she reminded you of me *sigh*

i couldn't stay
forever felt like such a long time
up all night
heart sick and tongue tied
there was a day
i thought that things would be just fine
and forever felt like such a long time
what a waste of my mortality
some things that are
were not supposed to be

and i couldn't wait
forever felt like such a long time
up all night sanguine and wide-eyed
oh, i couldn't stay
forever felt like such a long time
now forever is passing me by (is passing me by)
is passing me by (is passing me by)
is passing me by (is passing me by)
is passing me by
