“Here to Forever” is the second single from Death Cab for Cutie’s album Asphalt Meadows. The narrator struggles with the perceived aimlessness of the universe, struggling to find his place in life. The song was DCFC’s seventh #1 single, a feat later achieved by the album’s “Pepper.”
[Verse 1]
In every movie I watch from the fifties
There's only one thought that swirls around my head now
And that's that everyone there on the screen
Yeah, everyone there on the screen, well, they're all dead now
They're all dead now
And it ain't easy living above
And I can't help but keep falling in love with bones and ashes
With bones and ashes
And when the color is too bold and bright
I'm daydreaming in black and white until it passes
Until it passеs
[Chorus]
I wanna know the measure from hеre to forever
And I wanna feel the pressure of God or whatever
[Verse 2]
Oh, these days, it's so hard to relax
You gotta hold a gun to my back to make me smile
To make me smile
And the only way I seem to cope
Is by trying to hold on to hope if just for a while
If just for a while
[Chorus]
I wanna know the measure from here to forever
And I wanna feel the pressure of God or whatever
Now it seems more than ever there's no hands on the levers
And I wanna feel the pressure of God or whatever
[Bridge]
Only rollers keep rolling
While the searchers keep scrolling
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
I wanna know the measure from here to forever
And I wanna feel the pressure of God or whatever
Now it seems more than ever there's no hands on the levers
And I wanna feel the pressure of God or whatever
[Outro]
Or whatever
