“Forever” is the eleventh track on Joy Crookes’ second (studio) album, Juniper. Crookes talks about the memories left over from love now lost, it possibly also shows that Crookes still cares about this person—“I don’t let go”—or about how “forever” is limited—“tomorrow never guarantees… But you’re a...
[Verse 1]
Why are we still gripping to "Forever"?
Why we trynna love with so much pressure?
Although the chance of loss is high
Memory marks my mind, and that's forever
And ever, and ever, ever, and ever
Heartbreak consistent like British weather
But I don't let you go
[Chorus]
'Cause you, you been livin' on my mind
Memory, rivers runnin' from my eyes
So, whether you're with me or not
Remember that we traded love, and that's forever
And ever, and ever, ever, and ever
[Verse 2]
"Forever" was a thought with you
But you could convince me that
My brown eyes had turned to blue
Saw my Mom make my Dad cry
As I child I learnt there's no, "Forever"
Six feet under, wrapped in white
Watched your body sleep tight
Tomorrow never guarantees
But you're alive in me, and that's forever
And ever, and ever, ever, and ever
[Chorus]
'Cause you, you been livin' on my mind
Memory, rivers runnin' from my eyes
So, whether you're with me or not
Remember that we traded love, and that's forever
And ever, and ever, ever, and ever
Ever, and ever, ever, and ever
[Post-Chorus]
Nothing's forever, don't apply the pressure
We're not together, memories last forever
[Outro]
Whether you're with me or not
Remember that we traded love, and that's forever
