Forever

Lyrics by：Sara Bareilles

Composed 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 wanna 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 the 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
