about

Ugh. I love and hate this track. Love it because it's quirky, it's sarcastic, it's playful, it's bouncy. I hate it...well, because I think Forever CAN Last, and I think, "Morgan, what the hell were you thinking writing this song?! Everyone is going to think you are a cynical spoiled grumpy brat if they actually take this song to be literal." So guys, it's a joke. But it's a bouncy, fun joke that hopefully you find yourself singing when you don't really want to.

lyrics

VERSE:
I was sitting, trying to write a song
about love and how it lasts so long
but lately i've misunderstood
cause things aren't turning out so good

I look up and I look down
broken hears are all I've found
I should look to the albatross
he's the only guy who ain't at a loss.

CHORUS:
We all know that forever don't last these days
and I don't know
All stumbling round in a dead end maze
and I don't know
Lost in a foggy haze
and I don't know
We all know that forever don't last these days.

VERSE:
So, I'm the girl in my own sad story
Sweetie I should preface this with "I'm sorry",
but devoting one's life to another is crazy
It can't last forever

But you got down on your knee
looking up so sweetly
you asked me for my hand but why can't you understand
that I'm not crazy?

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
There will always be a richer man
who will buy me the clothes that I never had
There will always be a smarter guy
who challenges my inquisitive mind.
There will always be a younger girl
with a perfect set of teeth and tight blonde curls
So why make a vow that won't last no way, no how?

VERSE:
It's easy to scorn and act skeptical
Love is just so hectic, I'll
choose whether it ends or lasts
with decisions made when the present's past

So may the lover's love and the hater's hate,
we'll all just happily go our own way,
I'll see you on the other side
I kind of hope that I'm not right when I say

CHORUS
