Lyrics

Forever ain't easy to come by

Forever is not easily obtained or achieved.

For always ain't never to sure

Commitment to "always" is never entirely certain.

For certain is less than you hoped for

"For certain" falls short of the expectations or desires.

For someone it's hard to endure

Enduring love can be challenging for some individuals.

Foresaken must sometimes befall us

Sometimes, being forsaken or abandoned is inevitable.

For sorrow sometimes will call

Sorrow may unexpectedly enter our lives.

Four seasons go around on a pinwheel

The cycles of the four seasons are unpredictable.

And tomorrow ain't nothin' at all

Tomorrow holds uncertainty and may bring nothing significant.


The first time that I came by lovin'

The initial experience of love had "forever" as a predominant thought.

Forever was all on my mind

The continuous pain and search for reciprocal love were unexpected.

And I never got used to the hurting

The pain and the pursuit of love were never fully accepted or normalized.

Or the searchin' for some love in kind

Despite efforts, the quest for a fulfilling love continues.

And it seems like I'm still chasing rainbows

Chasing rainbows symbolizes pursuing elusive and idealistic goals.

It seems like I'm still on the run

The pursuit of unattainable goals continues, akin to being on the run.

Forever don't mean much in passing

The concept of "forever" loses significance with the passage of time.

Forgotten don't mean that it's done

Being forgotten doesn't necessarily mean a situation is resolved or concluded.


Forever, for always, for certain'

Reiterating the theme of struggling with the uncertainties of love.

For someone forsaken for sure

Someone is certain to experience being forsaken.

For any old plan you got workin'

Any plan in progress faces uncertainties and challenges.

For any old pain you can cure

Any pain experienced can potentially be healed or overcome.

Forever, for always, for certain

Repeating the theme of grappling with the complexities of love.
