Forever - Sara Bareilles

Oh, I didn’t see this coming
From distance like this, I’ve always been running
You find something you love
You hold on to it and don’t let go

Oh, I couldn’t have predicted
So much out of my control
Oh, isn’t it hard to be
These human-shaped hearts that we are

Seconds into minutes into hours and days and weeks
And months and once you’re in it then it’s hard to feel the heartbeat of you and me
Everything alive will learn to die
Alive is life arriving every minute at a time until it’s time to leave

Don’t you cry
I’m already home
There’s not one mile in this life you’ll walk alone
And if you need me
And we’re not together
Close your eyes to see me better
I’ll be here forever
I’ll be here forever
I’ll be here forever

I can’t say this will be easy
I don’t want to tell you lies
And honestly, I’m scared and so are you
But that’s all we have to do is just be scared

And I know these seconds into minutes into hours and days and weeks
Will sneak up on us
Ocean made of pain, waves of ache
Each wake will break us open
Lay upon the shore and let it roar
Be soft in awe of love and loss
The miracle of grief is in the heartbeat of you and me

But don’t you cry
I’m already home
There’s not one mile in this life you’ll walk alone
And if you need me
And we’re not together
Close your eyes to see me better

If you are the boat, I am the ocean
If you are the flame, I am the carbon
If you are the bird, I am the movement
If you are the words, I am the music
If you are the bloom, I am the color
If you are the child, I am the mother
If you are the lonely, I am the lover
I am the love, the love, the love, the love, the love forever

Forever
I’ll be here forever
Forever ever ever ever
Forever
I’ll be here
Forever
