Forever To Go
Elvis Barker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I remember you said "I do" and I said "I do too"
We were young but so in love
People said "it wouldn't last, too many bad things in my past
The best we'd do was maybe a year or two"

One year down, forever to go
Who would've thought I'd love you more than I did the day we said I do
Until death do we part is no longer in my heart
One year down, forever to go

First years are rough I must admit
But I knew that I couldn't quit
A man is only as good as his word
Temptation comes God knows it's tough
But I know that I'm strong enough
'Cause love can't be love if there's no trust

Five years down, forever to go
Who would've thought I'd love you more than I did the day we said I do
Until death do we part is no longer in my heart
Eight years down, forever to go

Fifteen down, forever to go





One heart down, forever to go
