Faber Drive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But everything still seemed so clear to me
Whispering and watching falling stars
From my beat up car
(I was fallin', fallin' I was fallin')
In the parking lot
Almost 10 o'clock
We went for one last walk
Thinkin' if I should try
A kiss goodbye
(I was fallin', fallin' I was fallin')
I'll wait forever
It's better late then never
Can't forget her
Like a movie in my mind
Keeps playing over and over
Wanna hold her again
I'll wait forever
Time goes by but still I find
Can't keep you off my mind
A broken piece of me I left behind
When you were mine
(I was fallin', fallin' I was fallin')
Our last embrace
Those perfect tears fell down your perfect face
Your lips said words that I just can't erase
Was this a waste?
(You were fallin', fallin' you were fallin')
I'll wait forever
It's better late then never
Can't forget her
Like a movie in my mind
Keeps playing over and over
Wanna hold her again
I kept her letter in my wallet
And her picture in my phone
She had our favorite song set as her ring tone
We had everything we wanted
'Till we let it slip away
But we both know some things will never change
Time goes by
But still I find
I can't keep you off my mind
I'll wait forever
It's better late then never
Can't forget her
Like a movie in my mind
Keeps playing over and over
Wanna hold her, I'll wait forever
I'll wait forever
It's better late then never
Can't forget her
Like a movie in my mind
Keeps playing over and over
Wanna hold her, I'll wait forever
The song "Forever" by Faber Drive is a nostalgic ballad about a past love that the singer just can't seem to forget. The lyrics describe a moment when he was 17 and on a date with his girlfriend. They were watching falling stars from his car in a parking lot, but as the night came to an end, he was unsure whether to try for a goodbye kiss. The chorus reveals that he is still holding onto the memory of that night and of his former flame, unable to forget her and willing to wait for her forever.
Throughout the song, the singer reminisces about the past relationship, remembering the little things they did together and the moments they shared. He still carries her letter in his wallet and her picture on his phone, and their favorite song remains as her ringtone. However, as the song progresses, it becomes clear that the relationship was not meant to be, as they let it slip away. Despite this realization, the singer still cannot forget his former flame and would wait for her forever.
The melancholy tone of the song, coupled with the wistful lyrics, makes "Forever" a relatable and emotionally resonant track about lost love and the power of memory.
