Songtexte Forever (Doesn’t Quite Seem Long Enough) - Ben Rector

Forever doesn't quite seem long enough, oh!
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh

When I was five years old
Couldn't imagine being twelve
When I was in high school
40 meant that you were dead, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

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

What if you get sick and you leave me when you're 38?
What if I get reckless driving on the interstate?
Oh-oh-oh-oh, forever doesn't quite seem long enough
I wish I had known you when we were in second grade
Draw you stupid pictures, eat lunch with you every day
Oh-oh-oh-oh, forever doesn't quite seem long enough

Oh, oh
Oh, oh

The first week that I met you
I saw the sunrise every night
I think I knew it then
I always wanna be by your side

Every time I leave
Doesn't matter where I'm going, it doesn't
Feel like I need to go if I could be with you at home

What if you get sick and you leave me when you're 38?
What if I get reckless driving on the interstate?
Oh-oh-oh-oh, 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
Oh-oh-oh-oh, forever doesn't quite seem long enough

Oh, oh-oh-oh (oh, oh)
Doesn't quite seem long enough
Oh, oh

Life's a short, bittersweet mystery
And love is such a precious, fragile thing

Like what if you get sick and you leave me when you're 38?
What if I get reckless driving on the interstate?
Oh-oh-oh-oh, 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
Oh-oh-oh-oh, forever doesn't quite seem long enough

Oh, yeah (oh, oh)
Forever, forever (oh, oh)
Doesn't seem (oh, oh)
Forever doesn't quite seem long enough
