Sampling Madleen Kane’s “You and I”, Forever (Sailing) sees Lindsey Jordan obsessing over an ex and promising to chase them forever. The more loving instrumentals press against significantly darker lyrics.
[Verse 1]
I might have made a stranger out of you
And I'm stranger too
I know that's not my perfume on you, Tiger
And we don't have long
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Doesn't obsession just become me?
Don't let 'em see, we don't owe it to nobody
No matter where we are, I love you from the city to the stars
But nothin' stays as good as how it starts
[Chorus]
You and I, like a ship, forever sailing
You and I, everything we try is failing
Everything we do
Everything we try
[Verse 2]
Time tends to pass and make a joke of things, but
Eleven months and still
Somе nights I reach for you like you're bеside me
You're takin' her home
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Does an obsession just become you?
You're takin' that tone, icy cold, come on, I loved you
Whatever you decide, I'll chase you from the city to the sky
And lose myself for you a thousand times
[Chorus]
You and I, like a ship forever sailing
You and I, everything we try is failing
Everything we do
Everything we try
[Chorus]
You and I, like a ship forever sailing
You and I, everything we try is failing
Everything we do
Everything we try
[Outro]
So much destruction
Look at what we did
That was so real
And you don't just forget
So much destruction
Look at what we did
That was so real
And you don't just forget (No more)
So much destruction (Everything is her)
Look at what we did (No more)
That was so real (Everything is her)
And you don't just forget (No more)
So much destruction (Everything is her)
Look at what we did (No more)
That was so real (Everything is her)
You don't just forget (No more)
(Everything is her)
You don't just forget (No more)
(Everything is her)
You don't just forget (No more)
(Everything is her)
You don't just forget (No more)
(Everything is her)

Lindsey Jordan:
That song was initially constructed from a sample of a song, “You and I” by Madleen Kane. I heard it forever ago and I was just really moved—it has some magic that feels like I really feel. And I had never really dabbled in sampling, but I just couldn’t stop thinking about being inv...
