"I’ve made the best friends I’ve ever had at school. They are the first people I’ve met that have really wanted me to grow and want me to be different and are okay with me being weird and trying out new ideas." - via Clairo
"I wrote this song the night before I left for college. I don’t really know where the idea came from. I was about to go on this huge journey of going to school, and the song kind of talks about this existential, all the question I’m asking can be applied to not only a relationship, but life in general. I was having a moment with myself, and I was like “I don’t know what’s going on. Is it ever gonna change? Am I gonna feel this way forever?” I didn’t know if I liked the school. I didn’t know if that was the right fit for me, so the mood was kind of just me being really confused. I’m confused a lot of the time." - via Clairo
4EVER
Clairo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You called me wondering why I changed
Or why I don't look the same
Why I think so differently now
Is it ever gonna change?
Am I gonna feel this way forever?
Are you gonna be around for me to count on? Yeah
Am I gonna feel this way forever?
Are you gonna be around for me to count on? Count on
On-on-on, on-on-on-on-on
On-on-on, on-on-on-on-on
On-on-on, on-on-on-on-on
On-on-on, on-on-on-on-on
Some things just never seem to fade
I'm thinkin' 'bout how we were on our first date
You understood the words I was saying
I knew I'd never let you get away
Hold you tight, squeeze you right, tell you what I want
Put me in your bedroom and I'll sing a little song
Hold you tight, squeeze you right, give you all I've got
See you in the morning, over coffee, we'll talk, oh
Is it ever gonna change?
Am I gonna feel this way forever?
Are you gonna be around for me to count on?
Is it ever gonna change?
Am I gonna feel this way forever?
Are you gonna be around for me to count on? Count on
On-on-on, on-on-on-on-on
On-on-on, on-on-on-on-on
On-on-on, on-on-on-on-on
On-on-on, on-on-on-on-on
In Clairo's song 4EVER, the artist reflects on the changes that have taken place in her life and how they have affected her relationships. The song begins with the acknowledgment that some things are not easy to understand or change, and that the singer has been questioned about the changes in her personality and appearance. Despite this, Clairo muses on whether this is just a phase or if it is something that she will feel forever. She also wonders if the people in her life will continue to be around for her when she needs them.
The lyrics of the song suggest that the changes Clairo is experiencing might be related to personal growth or a shift in perspective. She acknowledges that her previous relationship was based on mutual understanding and connection, and that it was a special moment that she never wants to forget. She then proceeds to describe her desire to hold and cherish her new relationship, to be completely invested in it and to build a future with her partner, highlighting her willingness to give her all to the relationship.
Ultimately, the song's themes revolve around uncertainty, growth, and the search for lasting meaning in relationships. Clairo's lyrics voice a common anxiety about change and its effects, while also acknowledging the power of relationships to help us weather difficult periods.
