Forever (Doesn’t Quite Seem Long Enough) lyrics

[Intro]
Forever doesn't quite seem long enough

[Verse 1]
When I was 5 years old
I couldn't imagine being 12
When I was in high school
40 meant that you were dead
Maybe everybody feels this way when they start getting older
But I love you so much I'm scared you won't always be here

[Chorus]
What if you get sick and you leave me when you're 38
What if I get reckless driving on the interstate
Ooh, forever doesn't quite seem long еnough
I wish I had known you when we werе in second grade
Draw you stupid pictures, eat lunch with you every day
Ooh, forever doesn't quite seem long enough

[Verse 2]
The first week that I met you
I saw the sunrise every night
I think I knew it then
I always want to be by your side
Now every time I leave
Doesn't matter where I'm going it doesn't feel like
I need to go when I could be with you at home
[Chorus]
What if you get sick and you leave me when you're 38
What if I get reckless driving on the interstate
Ooh, forever doesn't quite seem long enough
I wish I had known you when we were in second grade
I'd have drawn you pictures, eat lunch with you every day
Ooh, forever doesn't quite seem long enough

[Bridge]
Life's a short bittersweet mystery
And love is such a precious fragile thing

[Chorus]
So what if you get sick and you leave me when you're 38
What if I get reckless driving on the interstate
Ooh, forever doesn't quite seem long enough
I wish I had known you when we were in second grade
I'd have drawn you pictures, eat lunch with you every day
Ooh, forever doesn't quite seem long enough

[Outro]
Forever doesn't quite seem long enough
