Forever Lyrics

The drains at the station can't handle the flood

I'm wading through pavements

Too set in my ways too give up

And the train that I make my escape on

Had better still come

Oh It better still come

I've been paralysed here for the last 20 years

I've been planning a life in my head without changing the gears

Lost the feeling in all of my fingers

From reeling and writing it down

I'm crawling and choking and learning to breathe

A baby who cries for whatever she needs

Suitcases filled with potential and greed

Tell me I'm clever

I'll be forever

I'm shy and I'm staring

And starting to scream

I get what I want or I'm making a scene

I don't wanna know if it's not about me

Light as a feather

I'll be forever 18

I'll be forever 18

Might just live with my parents as long as I can

Think I'd trade independence

To eat from the palm of their hands

And the bed that I make everyday

It won't fit in a van

I won't sit in a van

I'm eternally walking the same way to school

Making eyes with the teachers

But none of them know me at all

And the buses have all broken down

But I'm sticking around

Why am I still around?

I'm crawling and choking and learning to breathe

A baby who cries for whatever she needs

Suitcases filled with potential and greed

Tell me I'm clever

I'll be forever

I'm shy and I'm staring

And starting to scream

I get what I want or I'm making a scene

I don't wanna know if its not about me

Light as a feather

I'll be forever

Tell me I'm better than everyone now

I swore that I wouldn't get left in this town

When my skin is weathered

And my mind is measured

Will I live forever?

Can I live forever?

Oh tell me I'm better than everyone now

I swore that I wouldn't get left in this town

When my skin is weathered

And my mind is measured

Will I live forever?

Can I live forever?

I'm crawling and choking and learning to breathe

A baby who cries for whatever she needs

Suitcases filled with potential and greed

Tell me I'm clever

I'll be forever

I'm shy and I'm staring

And starting to scream

I get what I want or I'm making a scene

I don't wanna know if its not about me

Light as a feather

I'll be forever 18

I'll be forever
