Live Forever
Sequoyah Prep School Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I could turn back time,
I'd do it all the same
Just to watch you while you sleep.
And if I could rewind love,
I'd love you just the same
As I do right here today.
But if you wanted to,
I could tell you I love you

And we could live forever

So will you live forever with me my darlin?
We could dream as far as our minds can dream and farther
And if you asked me if I'd ever wanna die
I'd say why, when I could stay right here with you?

And if you were a story in my heart, I'd stay up all night just to write you down.
And if you were a song on my lips I'd travel the whole world round,
Just to sing your song.
And if you wanted to I could tell you I love you
And we could live forever

So will you live forever with me, my darlin?
We could dream as far as our minds can dream and farther.
And if you asked me if I ever wanna die, I'd say why when I could stay right here with you.

And if you wanted to, I could tell you I love you and we
Could live forever.
