The Office
Forever Came Calling Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We were spitting off of ferries and falling so in love, downtown with no money but, it was enough. And who knew dancing to no music was so much fun? No money, no museum but, I had the sights. No money, no museum but, you by my side. From a third story window she screamed Your the love of my life. (your the love of my life)
Dancing on the ocean beats spinning on a beach. Take a picture for your pocket and burn everything. I'll kill myself to shock my friends, and let them know love is never as bad as we intend. I'll shine it on in spite of this, to let them know my life is half as good as I pretend.
Hey there tear catcher I know you don't miss her. Faucets and sinks they're like eyes. She's down on her knees blinded by the thought of her name in lights. I pray that you get there in time.
Dancing on an ocean beats spinning on a beach. Take a picture for your pocket and burn everything. I'll kill myself to shock my friends, and let them know love is never as bad as we intend. I'll shine it on in spite of this, to let them know my life is half as good as I pretend.
(If I ever make it home again, god I'll make this work)
Lately see I've been hung up on nothing. I've been staggering trying to make it mean something, I'll say.
(If I ever make it home again, god I'll make this work)
Lately see I've been hung up on nothing. I've been staggering trying to make it mean something, I'll say.

I'll kill myself to shock my friends, and let them know love is never as bad as we intend. I'll shine it on in spite of this, to let them know my life is half as good as I pretend.

You always were my best regret, signed sincerely the kid now on top of your bed. You always were my best regret, signed sincerely the kid now on top of your bed.
430 Dukes Rd at night, we were feeling so alive
