After musically meandering through his college years unsure of where to go with his sound, Hambrick found himself 2 years out of school thinking that he should be somewhere by now... and maybe he should. Regrets of time ill-invested during those college years washed over him in 2009 as he began working on new material. That work rarely yielded anything but frustration as he came to the realization that his busyness and social ADD had left him musically empty-handed after a period of life where many artists begin to discover themselves. He found himself at a disadvantage if indeed he wanted to play/write music with any reasonable level of excellence. He was now Fighting From the Ground. Calling on his lyrical prowess and smooth vocal, this album is Adam starting over. No self-important groanings in this song cycle, just catchy melodies, honest words, and a great cast of accompanying players. Available on iTunes, Amazon, Rhapsody, and other online retailers.

Forever Ain't Long Enough
Adam Hambrick Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

For all the times I get watch you checking your shades
In that side view mirror
For all the times I get wake up
Next to you tangled up in my sheets

For every walk on the boulevard with you on my arm
Every head turning like
(Who′s that girl?)

You'd think I′d get tired of it eventually
But forever ain't long enough

For the fire that I have in my heart for you
No there ain't enough ticks on the clock
To do all of the things that I wanna do-o-o with you
I′m never gonna stop

Tasting heaven on your lips when you′re kissing me
Baby, even if I had an eternity
To give you all of my love, yeah
Forever ain't long enough

Oh, forever ain′t long enough

Now, baby I can't apologize for keeping you up
A little late past midnight
Sleep is way overrated in comparison
To staring in your baby blues

Every sunset view
(Wanna drag it out)
It always ends too soon
(My love)
Forever ain′t long enough

For the fire that I have in my heart for you
No, there ain't enough ticks on the clock
To do all of the things that I wanna do-o-o with you
I′m never gonna stop

Tasting heaven on your lips when you're kissing me
Baby, even if I had an eternity
To give you all of my love, yeah
Forever ain't long enough

Forever ain′t
Forever ain′t
Forever ain't

Forever ain′t
Forever ain't
Forever ain′t

Oh, forever ain't long enough

For the fire that I have in my heart for you
No there ain′t enough ticks on the clock
To do all of the things that I wanna do-o-o with you
I'm never gonna stop

Tasting heaven on your lips when you're kissing me
Baby, even if I had an eternity
To give you all of my love, yeah
Forever ain′t long enough

Oh, forever ain′t long enough

Forever ain't long enough
