Live Forever
Liam Payne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jaded, faded, self-medicated
I didn't know I was waiting for you, yeah, yeah
Broken, smoking, 'til you came into focus
Sobered me up off of one hit of you

Wasn't even trying to chase a high
I just didn't wanna feel so low, low, low
Know I'm gonna miss the crazy nights
But you made me wanna let it all go

I was always gonna live fast, die young
Slow down when you came along, yeah
Burn bright, burn out
But now you make me wanna live forever
All that runnin', gonna give it up for you
Nothing ever get me high like you do
Some way, somehow

You and I, we're gonna live forever
Forever
You and I, we're gonna live forever

Reckless, restless, I let it get so hectic
All the way up with my head in the sky, yeah, yeah
Too much, too gone, too many, too fun
I don't know how but I got out alive

Wasn't even trying to chase a high
I just didn't wanna feel so low, low, low
Know I'm gonna miss the crazy nights
But you made me wanna let it all go

I was always gonna live fast, die young
Slow down when you came along, yeah
Burn bright, burn out
But now you make me wanna live forever
All that runnin', gonna give it up for you
Nothing ever get me high like you do
Some way, somehow

You and I, we're gonna live forever
Forever
You and I, we're gonna live forever
Some way, somehow
You and I, we're gonna live forever

The party's over, let the good times roll
But we're still gonna lose control
Lose my mind, getting high on you
High on you
The party's over, let the good times roll
But we're still gonna lose control
Lose my mind, getting high on you

You and I, we're gonna live forever, forever and ever
You and I, we're gonna live forever
Forever and ever
You and I, we're gonna live forever
Forever and ever
You and I, we're gonna live forever
Forever and ever
You and I, we're gonna live forever

Live fast, die young
Slow down when you came along, yeah




Burn bright, burn out
But now you make me wanna live forever

Jaded, faded, self-medicated
Feeling weary and tired, losing color, turning to self-medicating to cope with life's challenges.


I didn't know I was waiting for you, yeah, yeah
Unaware that something was missing in life until you arrived and made it complete.


Broken, smoking, 'til you came into focus Sobered me up off of one hit of you
Feeling shattered and smoking to numb the pain, but after meeting you and experiencing your love, sobriety feels like one hit away.


Wasn't even trying to chase a high I just didn't wanna feel so low, low, low
Not trying to seek a thrill, just desperately trying to escape the lows of life.


Know I'm gonna miss the crazy nights But you made me wanna let it all go
Realizing that the wild party nights will be missed, but the love and connection with you is worth more than any temporary high.


I was always gonna live fast, die young Slow down when you came along, yeah Burn bright, burn out But now you make me wanna live forever
Previously lived a reckless lifestyle with a 'live fast, die young' mentality. However, since you entered my life, I've slowed down and want to live forever with you.


All that runnin', gonna give it up for you Nothing ever get me high like you do Some way, somehow You and I, we're gonna live forever
Giving up the chase for a high in favor of the love and joy you bring, knowing that we will live forever together somehow.


Reckless, restless, I let it get so hectic All the way up with my head in the sky, yeah, yeah Too much, too gone, too many, too fun I don't know how but I got out alive
Being careless and agitated, letting everything become chaotic, and enjoying the party life too much. However, despite all that, you somehow helped me escape that lifestyle and survive.


The party's over, let the good times roll But we're still gonna lose control Lose my mind, getting high on you High on you
Although the party is over, we can still have fun, let loose and be crazy with each other. Losing myself in you is an even better natural high.


You and I, we're gonna live forever, forever and ever You and I, we're gonna live forever Forever and ever You and I, we're gonna live forever Forever and ever You and I, we're gonna live forever
With you by my side, we will live for eternity and never let go of each other.


Live fast, die young Slow down when you came along, yeah Burn bright, burn out But now you make me wanna live forever
Reiterating the previous sentiment of previously living fast and recklessly but slowing down with the arrival of the other person and wanting to live forever with them.

@yashkhairkar1309

they all deserves the world .... because when we see the direction account there are some what 33.7 M. subscribers but when it comes to individual why are they lacking behind?

@afiabambaikar5445

@MYTHIC HUNTER yeah that's really wierd. Many directioners don't support their solo careers.

@stevebuscemi5941

Yes, because putting your comment in caps makes your point more clearer.
