VERSIONS OF FOREVER Lyrics by Matt Hansen
I can’t lie I didn’t see it coming
All this time and it was running out
Running out
I knew every little thing about you
Still I missed how we were breaking down
What happened now?
Darling, we were a forest fire
Til you burned out
Oh-oh, oh-ooh
I guess we had different versions of forever
Mine was for life, yours was til there’s someone better
I know it’s sad, but at least I still remember
What we had, you can’t take that back, no
Ooh, oh-oh-oh-ooh
Ooh, oh-oh-oh-ooh
What we had, you can’t take that back, no
Ooh, oh-oh-oh-ooh
Ooh, oh-oh-oh-ooh
What we had, was it all that bad
Took a one way to New York City
One day it won’t feel like our home
Oh
But I still see you there in every streetlight
Figure of a girl I used to know
Used to know
Darling, we were a hurricane
But I spun you out
Oh-oh, oh-ooh
I guess we had different versions of forever
Mine was for life, yours was til there’s someone better
I know it’s sad, but at least I still remember
What we had, you can’t take that back, no
Ooh, oh-oh-oh-ooh
Ooh, oh-oh-oh-ooh
What we had, you can’t take that back no
Ooh, oh-oh-oh-ooh
Ooh, oh-oh-oh-ooh
What we had, was it all that bad
‘Cause you’re all that I’ve known
I thought we had it all
I guess we had different versions of forever
Mine was for life, yours was til there’s someone better
I know it’s sad, but at least I still remember
What we had, you can’t take that back, no
Ooh, oh-oh-oh-ooh
Ooh, oh-oh-oh-ooh
What we had, you can’t take that back no
Ooh, oh-oh-oh-ooh
Ooh, oh-oh-oh-ooh
What we had, was it all that bad
