Chillin' with the lads on the beach
Walkin' down the road, smokin' joints in the streets
And in our minds, there's no time to be wastin'
Tonight is the night, I'm a real, I'm a wavy
I've known you for a long time, I've known you since you're this high
I've seen you have your first kiss, helped you win your first fight
I'll help you in your last, don't forget about the past
Now we're in the present and we want this all to last forever

And we want this all to last forever
And we want this all to last forever

Forever

Chillin' with the lads on the beach
Walkin' down the road, smokin' joints in the streets
And in our minds, there's no time to be wastin'
Tonight is the night, I'm a real, I'm a wavy
I've known you for a long time, I've known you since you're this high
I've seen you have your first kiss, helped you win your first fight
I'll help you in your last, don't forget about the past
Now we're in the present and we want this all to last forever

And we want this all to last
These were the best days of my life
And we want this all to last
And we want

No stress, less time
No mess, best days
My way, livin' in the best way
I was here when you were there
Stayed there all night
Mad booze, mad love
Oh, what a time

And we want this all to last forever
And we want this all to last forever

Forever

Chillin' with the lads on the beach
Walkin' down the road, smokin' joints in the streets
And in our minds, there's no time to be wastin'
Tonight is the night, I'm a real, I'm a wavy
I've known you for a long time, I've known you since you're this high
I've seen you have your first kiss, helped you win your first fight

I'll help you in your last, don't forget about the past
Now we're in the present and we want this all to last forever
