Forever (Doesn't Quite Seem Long Enough) Songtext
von 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
Forty 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 thirty-eight?
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 thirty-eight?
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 thirty-eight?
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
