For Always Forever
Every Avenue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Another late night driving around
We're losing sunlight so we head downtown
To Woodward off Charlotte Street
The old place that we used to meet

We were young and we lived it up
But those nights never lasted long enough
Looking back we're so naive
What happened to the days when we shared our dreams

If I could go back now
I wouldn't change a thing
Oh it feels so good
To say

Guess we made it this far
Guess we're doing alright
Looks like we made it out alive
Yeah we made our mistakes
But we followed our hearts
Even though we drift apart
For always, forever
Weathered yellow still frames in my head
For always, forever

The sun rise would beat us to sleep
We didn't wanna go home so slept on the beach
Oh the summer never felt so sweet
I still feel the sand in underneath my feet

Memories of the nights that faded
I don't know how the hell we made it
Looking back we had everything
Those were the days when we shared our dreams

If I could go back now
I wouldn't change a thing
Oh it feels so good
To say

Guess we made it this far
Guess we're doing alright
Looks like we made it out alive
Yeah we made our mistakes
But we followed our hearts
Even though we drift apart
For always, forever
The secondhand kiss of a summer night
For always, forever

Even though some time has passed and we've gone our separate ways
No matter how far apart we'll always have our memories

If I could go back now
I wouldn't change a thing
Oh it feels so good
To say

Oh it feels so good

Guess we made it this far
Guess we're doing alright
Looks like we made it out alive
Yeah we made our mistakes
But we followed our hearts
Even though we drift apart
For always, forever
Endless copper street lamps on my mind
For always, forever
