Forever Lyrics by James Morrison

The Awakening

2011

Well my mama used to say
If you find a nice girl
It'll all work out
And my daddy used to say
If you can't do what you feel
Son, just walk out
But they don't know a thing about us
We're wild and free
But freedom ain't such a good thing
When you tell me to leave
Why'd you do a thing like that?
I'm begging of you
Won't you take me back
Even if everything we see is black
There's still a chance that we can make it back
I said that it's forever
Forever's what I mean
I look at you forever
Forever's all I see
I can take the blows
But you punch a little low
And it hurts me there
Of course I feel the love
That should be enough
But you don't play fair
I wanna hear the sweet sweet music
Of your apology
But you just say you're sorry
That you ever set your eyes on me
Why'd you do a thing like that?
I'm begging of you
Won't you take me back
Courtesy of
Even if everything we see is black
There's still a chance that we can make it back
I said that it's forever
Forever's what I mean
I look at you forever
Forever's all I see
Cross the line to dream of golden skies
I see the door you close behind your eyes
Break it down
Break it down
Break it down
Forever, forever's what I need
When I look at you
Forever, forever's all I see
I wanted to be close
It's what I miss the most
I ain't ever felt so low
When you spit me right out
Why'd you do a thing like that?
I'm begging of you
Won't you take me back
Even if everything we see is black
There's still a chance that we can make it back
I'm telling you
Why'd you do a thing like that?
I'm begging of you
Won't you take me back
Even if everything we see is black
There's still a chance that we can make it back
I said that it's forever
Forever's all I see
I look at you forever
Forever's all I see
