[Verse 1]
Tracing back the past, now I'm home at last
Feels like a new beginning
Sour in my head, laying on my bed
Losing all my sense of feeling
[Pre-Chorus]
Self-doubt lingers on my fingers
Wish I could escape into you
Holding onto things I sat through
Missing what the others abuse
[Chorus]
I don't want this wave to stop
'Cause forever isn't long enough
I don't want this wave to stop
Oh, it's over now, it's over now
(It's over now, it's over now)
[Verse 2]
The colour starts to fade, feel light wash away
Darkness on the ceiling
Things, they come and go, life still moves along
Marvin sings 'bout healing
[Pre-Chorus]
Self-doubt lingers on my fingers
Wish I could escape into you
Prism cracking, dancing, slapping
Lеaving me with nothing to lose
[Chorus]
I don't want this wave to stop
'Causе forever isn't long enough
I don't want this wave to stop
Oh, it's over now, it's over now
I don't want this wave to stop
'Cause forever isn't long enough
I don't want this wave to stop
Oh, it's over now, it's over now
[Bridge]
Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do, do
Do
Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do, do
Do
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't want this wave to stop (Stop)
'Cause forever isn't long enough (Enough)
[Chorus]
I don't want this wave to stop
'Cause forever isn't long enough
I don't want this wave to stop
Oh, it's over now, it's over now
[Outro]
It's over now, it's over now
It's over now, it's over now
It's over now (It's over now)
It's over now (It's over now)

Speaking to Clash in September 2020, Alfie said:
Some days I can’t stop thinking about how short life is and how you only have so much time to spend with the ones you love. Deep, right? Honestly I’ve made so many songs with the titles ‘Forever Isn’t Long Enough’ but this one felt the most meaningfu...
When I was out in America, I went to see Kid Harpoon and I was in his studio, thinking to myself, ‘Jesus Christ, I’ve just left school, I’m a wee little lad, and I’m out here chasing my dreams—this is a lot to take in.‘ It was the realization that forever isn’t long enough to do everything you want,...
