Forever Young
Juke Kartel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Caught in a moment I never listen Broken bottles paved my way Bustin the bubble avoiding the trouble Let‚s drink and hide away Near enough, is near enough I‚m amazed that I‚m on foreign ground
I am I am Forever young Everything seems so crazy Forever young I am I am Livin‚ for the rush and I‚m not coming down Diggin‚ up the dust left from burning out
Walking in circles

Scratching the surface Can‚t wait to distort my mind A chance to recover A light in the tunnel I waste what comes around Near enough, is near enough I‚m a slave to the underground
Chorus
I‚m all over you, all over you I‚m a slave to the abuse It‚s up to you, what would you do What will you do
Chorus
