Forever Lyrics by Sara Bareilles
Oh, I didn’t see this coming
From distance like this, I’ve always been running
You find something you love
You hold on to it and don’t let go
Oh, I couldn’t have predicted
So much out of my control, oh, isn’t it
Hard to be these human-shaped hearts that we are?
Seconds into minutes into hours and days and weeks and months
And once you’re in it, then it’s hard to feel the heartbeat of you and me
Everything alive will learn to die
Alive is life arriving every minute at a time until it’s time to leave
Don’t you cry, I’m already home
There’s not one mile in this life you’ll walk alone
And if you need me and we’re not together
Close your eyes to see me better
I’ll be here forever
I’ll be here forever
I’ll be here forever
I can’t say this will be easy
I don’t want to tell you lies
And honestly, I’m scared, and so are you
But that’s all we have to do is just be scared
And I know these seconds into minutes into hours and days and weeks
Will sneak up on us, ocean made of pain, waves of ache
Each wake will break us open
Lay upon the shore and let it roar, be soft in awe of love and loss
The miracle of grief is in a heartbeat of you and me
Don’t you cry, I’m already home
There’s not one mile in this life you’ll walk alone
And if you need me and we’re not together
Close your eyes to see me better
If you are the boat, I am the ocean
If you are the flame, I am the carbon
If you are the bird, I am the movement
If you are the words, I am the music
If you are the bloom, I am the color
If you are the child, I am the mother
If you are the lonely, I am the lover
I am the love, the love, the love, the love, the love, the love, the love forever
Forever
I’ll be here forever
Forever, ever, ever, ever (Forever)
Forever
I’ll be here forever
