Forever

There's one way I can't go
Lots of things I don't know
But I know that I can't do this forever
No no, no no
No I can't do this forever

Last night I saw you in a dream
Guess that's why I can't fall asleep
Now I'm terrified
That I might see you again
White lies, I got white teeth
Not a landmine
You don't miss me
I don't need a finish line just
To know this is the end
Once the same swing
Then across the room
Guess you couldn't see
From my point of view
As it crossed my mind
I think we both knew
That we ran our course
We were overdue
Still it ain't fair
Don't you remember that?
Or the sound of leaves
Over every crack?
A pair of crows overhead
They'd already flown
I guess you killed
Two birds with one stone

There's one way I can't go
Lots of things I don't know
But I know that I can't do this forever
No no, no no
No I can't do this forever

Look, it's time to go
Far too long I think we
Idolize things
We remember too distinctly
And I can make a whole
List of that but it's
Time to go, time to go
I think back and I realize
I had made a scene
Stopped at a red light
That's never gonna turn green
Fear lives in hope
And I'm hoping
I can leave, 'cause it's
Time to go, time to go
What occupies our minds?
The slight silver lining?
The need to be better?
Sometimes, I can't decide
I know I got ambition
'Bout to take what's mine
No longer caught up
In the past like
I'm froze in time
So Imma get up
'Bout to show you what I got
Putting in the hours
Like I'm punching the clock
There's just one way I can't go
So I'm 'bout to take
The other road if I got to

There's one way I can't go
Lots of things I don't know
But I know that I can't do this forever
No no, no no, no I can't do this
Hope I can keep control
But I fear that I won't
Still I know
That I won't do this forever
No no, no no

Don't know why, don't know why
I am, I am
Way too close to being too
Far from what I wanted
Still I try, still I hope
That Imma make it
And if I don't at least
I had enough of patience
Don't know why
Don't know why
I am, I am
Way too close to being
Too far from what I wanted
Still I try, still I know
I'll make it better
And if I don't at least
I had enough forever
