Forever Young Forever

barefoot messy bedroom floor handle sawed off of the door
candles burned and records turned and time was never wasted
flowers dried on window panes hours spent on the mix tape
i gave you on our first date when all we did was drive
oh you listened so closely, every cross fade high holy

we may not always be this fun
we may not always be together
but we will always have forever young forever

summer sprang from every tongue college came for everyone
autumn knows the mail moves slow till it doesn’t move at all
but in the top of my dresser oh I kept that one letter

we may not always be this fun
we may not always be together
but we will always have forever young forever

on a checkered blanket in the bed of a borrowed truck
parked out by the airport we tried our hands at love
saw you in the headlights seeing me for the first time
in the only moment anyone was ever truly mine

shopping at a big box store for records they don’t make no more
cross fade to a song I knew forever young ago

we may not always be this fun
we may not always be together
but we will always have forever young
we’ll always have forever young
we’ll always have forever young forever
