Forever Lost
The Magic Numbers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Darling, what'cha gonna do now?
Now that you noticed it all went wrong
I've been, I've been thinking
That you don't know me any more

Don't let the sun be the one to change you baby
I want to learn how to love, if I'm to know
Cause I want to go where the people go
Cause I'm forever lost

Darling, what'cha gonna say now?
Now that you noticed it all went wrong
Looks like I'm driving, my friends are all crazy
Oh they suddenly don't know me anymore

Don't let the sun be the one to change you baby
I want to learn how to love, if I'm to know
Cause I want to go where the people go
Cause I'm forever lost
Oh yeah, I'm forever lost

Looks like it all went wrong
What am I to do? What am I to do?
Looks like it all went wrong
What am I to do? What am I to do?
Looks like it all went wrong
What am I to do? What am I to do?
Looks like it all went wrong

Don't let the sun be the one to change you baby
I want to learn how to love, if I'm to know
Cause I want to go where the people go
Cause I'm forever lost
Oh yeah, I'm forever lost

Darling, what'cha gonna do now?
Now that you've noticed
Now that you've noticed




Now that you've noticed
Now that you know

The lines "Looks like I'm driving, my friends are all crazy / Oh they suddenly don't know me anymore" signify that even the singer's friends have noticed that something is wrong with the relationship.

It could mean that they are lost in love, lost in life, or simply lost in their relationship.

Que bonita cancion, en el 2005 yo era todavia un niño pero me trae muy buenos recuerdos esta cancion, una lastima que The Magic Numbers no tenga tanta fama a pesar de que tienen muy buena musica. Sin dudas mi cancion favorita de esta banda.

@AJW2711

Me alegra que disfrutes esta canción y esta banda, también fui un niño en 2005, pero todavía me encantan The Magic Numbers

@TEKCTandmoreLETRAS

Yo por ahí de ese año tenía 13, y me encantaba TMN (como hasta ahora). Me acuerdo que quería tener sus canciones y videos en mi iPod. 😅

@sonial1839

Creo que el problema de los Magic Numbers fue precisamente que no volvieron a hacer música como esta nuevamente. Se tardaron mucho en seguir produciendo y la gente se fue olvidando de ellos. Pero puedo constatar que cuando surgieron con este Disco, subieron como la espuma, pero no se mantuvieron.

@SotovicEntertainment

I have been looking for this song for over 10 years, I can't believe I've found it :')

@lalomoskabaltazar
