Live Forever Lyrics
Jaded, faded
Self-medicated
I didn't know I was waiting for you, yeah, yeah
Broken, smoking
Till you came into focus
Sobered me up off of one hit of you
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
Forever
You and I, we're gonna live forever
Wreckless, 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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
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
[Refrain]
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
[Outro]
Live fast, die young
Slow down when you came along, yeah
Burn bright, burn out
But now you make me wanna live forever

“Live Forever” is a really good representation of me. It’s written by a good friend of mine who [reached] a point where he had to make a choice for himself, when you get to that age when you realize you’re not invincible anymore. I think I had been quietly struggling with that the whole time that [my career] has been going on, really, because life got so crazy so quick it just kind of puts you in a very strange frame of mind. The “Live fast, die young” sort of scenario, a lot of artists go through that kind of thing, and it’s not really true. It’s all about how you want to live your life, really, but finding that one person you can lean on through this experience that kind of gets you through and makes you realize “I do want this forever.” That was a real strong message for me, not even through the live or die aspect, but the “to be an artist or to not be an artist” [aspect]."
