Forever doesn't quite seem long enough
When I was 5 years old
I couldn't imagine being 12
When I was in high school
40 meant that you were dead
Maybe everybody feels this way when they start getting older
But I love you so much I'm scared you won't always be here
What if you get sick and you leave me when you're 38
What if I get reckless driving on the interstate
Ooh, forever doesn't quite seem long enough
I wish I had known you when we were in second grade
Draw you stupid pictures, eat lunch with you every day
Ooh, forever doesn't quite seem long enough
The first week that I met you
I saw the sunrise every night
I think I knew it then
I always want to be by your side
Now every time I leave
Doesn't matter where I'm going it doesn't feel like
I need to go when I could be with you at home
What if you get sick and you leave me when you're 38
What if I get reckless driving on the interstate
Ooh, forever doesn't quite seem long enough
I wish I had known you when we were in second grade
I'd have drawn you pictures, eat lunch with you every day
Ooh, forever doesn't quite seem long enough
Life's a short bittersweet mystery
And love is such a precious fragile thing
So what if you get sick and you leave me when you're 38
What if I get reckless driving on the interstate
Ooh, forever doesn't quite seem long enough
I wish I had known you when we were in second grade
I'd have drawn you pictures, eat lunch with you every day
Ooh, forever doesn't quite seem long enough
Forever doesn't quite seem long enough
