4EVER Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Some things just aren't that simple
You called me wondering why I changed
Or why I don't look the same
Why I think so differently now
[Chorus]
Is it ever gonna change? Am I gonna feel this way forever?
Are you gonna be around for me to count on?
Is it ever gonna change? Am I gonna feel this way forever?
Are you gonna be around for me to count on? Count on
On-on-on, on-on-on-on-on
On-on-on, on-on-on-on-on
On-on-on, on-on-on-on-on
On-on-on, on-on-on-on-on
[Verse 2]
Some things just never seem to fade
I'm thinking about how we were on our first date
You understood the words I was saying
I knew I'd never let you get away
[Bridge]
Hold you tight, squeeze you right, tell you what I want
Put me in your bedroom and I'll sing a little song
Hold you tight, squeeze you right, give you all I've got
See you in the morning, over coffee, we'll talk, oh
[Chorus]
Is it ever gonna change? Am I gonna feel this way forever?
Are you gonna be around for me to count on?
Is it ever gonna change? Am I gonna feel this way forever?
Are you gonna be around for me to count on? Count on
On-on-on, on-on-on-on-on
On-on-on, on-on-on-on-on
On-on-on, on-on-on-on-on
On-on-on, on-on-on-on-on

What inspired this song?
I wrote this song the night before I left for college. I don’t really know where the idea came from. I was about to go on this huge journey of going to school, and the song kind of talks about this existential, all the question I’m asking can be applied to not only a relationship, but life in genera...
How did Clairo link up with Deaton Chris Anthony?
Deaton Chris Anthony is this amazing artist that I saw his Instagram for a little bit, but when I played a show in Santa Ana, I met him. He’s just like the sweetest person, and after I met him and talked to him for a little bit, I dove into his music. He makes this crazy R&B pop. He’s a supersta...
How did Clairo link up with producer Ashwin Torke?
I met Ashwin because he was an engineer in the studio. He was the only person that we were really working with. I didn’t work with any other engineer the whole time I was recording in the studio. I became friends with him. He was getting into the music, and I think he really liked the song, which wa...
How did Clairo link up with the Burns Twins?
I met them in Chicago. Eddie Burns is my drummer, and I met his brother and we just sat in the studio, and they helped a lot with the arrangement. I think I’m good in knowing what sounds pleasant to the ear, but I’m bad at building up and only giving that part of the song when its needed. Not like t...
