Twenty-two
And I'm heading out to be with you
But I don't know where
But I'll find you there
Driving up the 101
My back against the rising sun
But just hear me out
We'll say
Oh oh oh oh oh
Here we go!
Oh oh oh oh
Live like no tomorrow
Just worry about today
My love will last forever
When the money goes away
Dancing on the time roll
The risk is what we find
At least we'll have each other
If forever starts tonight
Hey, hey
Hey ooo, come on
Hey...
Come rain come shine
I'll stand in line
I'll walk many miles just to know you're mine
I'll come after you
And we'll make it through
(You know we always do, haha!)
Coz in this heart
You're number 1
And no matter where we go
No matter where we run
Just stay next to me
Coz you're all I need
We'll say
Oh oh oh oh oh
Here we go!
Oh oh oh oh
Live like no tomorrow
Just worry about today
My love will last forever
When the money goes away
Dancing on the time roll
The risk is what we find
At least we'll have each other
If forever starts tonight
Hey hey
Would you love it if I wrote a love letter tonight
Say that we can take a plane and write our names in the sky
For everyone to see it, everyone to read it
That forever starts tonight
Would you love it if I wrote a love letter tonight
Say that we can take a plane and write our names in the sky
For everyone to see it, everyone to read it
We'll live like no tomorrow
Just worry about today
Our love will last forever
The money goes away
Would you love it if I wrote a love letter tonight
Say that we can take a plane and write our names in the sky
For everyone to see it, everyone to read it
Now, live like no tomorrow
Just worry about today
My love will last forever
When the money goes away
Dancing on the time roll
The risk is what we find
At least we'll have each other
If forever starts tonight
Hey hey
On and on and on we go
Where it stops, no walking moment
On and on and on and on we go
The song “Forever Starts Tonight” by Tyler Ward is about a young man who is packing his bags and leaving to be with his love. He is unsure of where they will be together but has faith he will find her. He is driving up the 101 with the rising sun on his back and doesn’t know how, but he’s confident they will make it work. The chorus is a reaffirmation of their love, stating they’ll live like there’s no tomorrow and enjoy life in the present moment, since their love will last even when the money runs out.
The song is all about taking risks, both in love and life. The lyrics reflect a desire to seize the moment and not worry too much about the future. Even though the future is unpredictable, the singer of the song is confident that they’ll be able to face any challenge as long as they stick together. The last lines of the song suggest an open-ended journey, where they’ll keep moving forward together without knowing where they’re going exactly.

I am not sure where you are, but I will find you
But I'll find you there
I will search until I find you
Driving up the 101
I am driving up the highway to see you
My back against the rising sun
I am driving towards you with the sun behind me
And I don't know how
I don't know how I will find you
But just hear me out
But listen to what I have to say
We'll say
We will express ourselves
Oh oh oh oh oh
With enthusiasm
Here we go!
We are ready to begin
Live like no tomorrow
Live in the present moment
Just worry about today
Don't think too much about the future
My love will last forever
My love for you will never die
When the money goes away
Even if we lose everything else, our love remains
Dancing on the time roll
We are living our lives carefree
The risk is what we find
Taking risks is what makes life exciting
At least we'll have each other
No matter what happens, we will have each other
If forever starts tonight
If this is the beginning of our forever
Hey, hey

No matter where we run
No matter where we try to escape to
