Years Of Forever
Eternal Questions: Love, Loss, and Moving On
Lyrics
If you and I are both comprised
If both of us are made up of celestial elements
Of elements that make up celestial lights
We are like stars waiting to come to life
Then we are stars yet to ignite
Our potential is yet to be realized
With our souls in bodies for a fleeting lifetime
Our souls are housed in bodies for a brief existence
So tell me the odds that I'd meet you while I'm breathing
Reflecting on the improbability of meeting you in this lifetime
Tell me the odds that your heart's mine till death keeps it
Considering the chances of having your heart belong to me until death
How many years of forever will I get to come home to you, dear?
Questioning how many eternal years he'll get to be with the loved one
How many weekends and sunsets are left till we're gone?
Contemplating the limited time left for shared experiences
When forever's over, how do you move on?
Pondering the challenge of moving on after eternity ends
If you and I set to the wild
If we venture into the unknown
Made animals and monsters to raise in our tribe
Creating a family and nurturing relationships
Then we could feel young till we die
Envisioning a life where they stay youthful until death
Our colors in full bloom despite droughts in life
Remaining vibrant despite life's challenges
So tell me the odds we all pass on to the ether
Considering the probability of passing into the afterlife together
Tell me the odds that you'd swear to meet me there
Asking about the likelihood of a promise to reunite in the afterlife
How many years of forever will I get to come home to you, dear?
Repeating the question about the duration of eternal togetherness
How many weekends and sunsets are left till we're gone?
Reiterating the limited time for shared moments
When forever's over, how do you move on?
Repeating the concern about moving on after eternity
To a cycle we're sewn by the threads of the universe
Reflecting on the cyclical nature of relationships dictated by the universe
We meet, fall in love, plan a life, lose it most to work.
Describing the stages of a typical relationship, including loss to work
My furthest hope and my greatest fear
Expressing the conflicting emotions of hope and fear
That I'm first to go without saying those three words
Fearing being the first to depart without expressing love
How many years of forever will I get to come home to you, dear?
Reiterating the question about the duration of eternal togetherness
How many weekends and sunsets, road trips to beaches
Repeating the concern about limited time for shared moments
Overnight binges and mornings to sleep-in
Mentioning specific shared experiences and memories
Kitchens to burn and movies to finish
Listing various activities in their shared life
Million dollar ideas and bucket list wishes
Referencing dreams, ideas, and aspirations shared between them
But when forever's over, when forever's over
Repeating the question about moving on after eternity
When forever's over how do you move on?
Reiterating the challenge of moving on after eternal togetherness
