Forever Young
Cherry Pools Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Keep you up all night
I never said goodbye
Thought that′s what you wanted
When you touched my lips
Did it numb your mind?
Felt your heart jump started

Is it something I didn't notice
In the mood that time?
Are you caught up on me?
Guess I should′ve never called back
Cause I can't get out
And I'm trapped in something

I know you wanna be the only one
To be 21 for life
Can′t help the feeling that we′re holding on
To forever young tonight

Giving up that life
All the years we fumbled
Never had it in you
Would you run, decide
If you had the chance
Would you start all over?

Is it something taking over?
When the moon at night
Pulls me closer to you
Feel that body got me going
To the perfect sight
And I'm trapped in something
(Trapped in your eyes)

I know you wanna be the only one
To be 21 for life
Can′t help the feeling that we're holding on
To forever young tonight

I know you wanna be the only one
To be 21 for life
Can′t help the feeling that we're holding on
To forever young tonight

I know you wanna be the only one
To be 21 for life
Can′t help the feeling that we're holding on
To forever young tonight

I know you wanna be the only one
To be 21 for life




Can't help the feeling that we′re holding on
To forever young tonight
