In "The Great Forever," Bash Croft stays close to a love that ended, admitting they still write about it even when friends wouldn't understand. The first meeting froze time in September, and they remain there willingly, refusing to move from the memory. Loving somebody after they're gone feels natural, not wrong, and even future partners will share space with this lingering affection. A small part of them will always be in love, and they've learned to love the dark that carries the sweetness of what was.
The Great Forever Lyrics by Bash Croft
I should be so far away, somewhere you never knew
But I don’t want to
I can’t admit to my friends I still write about you
But I do, I do
I hold the words over my shoulder
Hoping they’d finally stop
I felt it all so it would be over
But that doesn’t work when it comes to us
It’s the great forever
The first time we met was the last time I knew
I’m still in September
Stuck in your arms and I don’t wanna move
No one could tell me there’s anything wrong
With loving somebody after they’re gone
It’s the great forever
A small part of me will always be in love with you
When I say that I give my all to somebody knew
It’s true, it’s true
‘Cause all of me will be there for them, but you’ll be there too
And I won’t mind that
Song from the birds sounds a lot sweeter
When you know it’s not gonna start
Reminds me of you when we were younger
I’ve learned to love the dark
It’s the great forever
The first time we met was the last time I knew
I’m still in September
Stuck in your arms and I don’t wanna move
No one could tell me there’s anything wrong
With loving somebody after they’re gone
It’s the great forever
A small part of me will always be in love with you
A small part of me will always be in love with you
A small part of me will always be in love with you
