about

this is a song about hoping your love lasts forever.

lyrics

It’s a minute for the ones who say they're sad
And it’s stuck inside the head of all the people that are mad
It’s not hard to think that forever never lasts
But when I’m with you, it doesn't seem that bad
It’s like commercials on your favorite TV show
Like the endless miles of traffic when you got somewhere to go
It’s a thing all single people seem to think that they know
But when I’m with you, I feel like we can go

Pretty long, not forever
I never wanna go and break your heart
If forever doesn't last and someday we fall apart
If I knew I wouldn't write you this song
So I'm just hoping our forever is relatively long

It’s like you're waiting for your crush to text you back
It’s like you’re waiting for your parents to go off and hit the sack
Like waiting for a paycheck a day after it’s due
But I think I like my odds if I can spend that time with you

For long, not forever
I never wanna go and break your heart
If forever doesn’t last and someday we fall apart
If I knew I wouldn't write you this song
So I’m just hoping our forever is relatively long

It's like waiting for the word that’s on the tip of your tongue
Meeting the parents, hoping they think you’re the one
It’s like when you say those three words and you wait to hear them back
But when you do, you think forever
Might not be that wack
Hm hm hm hm hm hm
Hm hm hm hm hm hm hm
