forever
young and on the brink
of all our dreams with scabbed knees
and big city dreams. children
in almost adult bodies with neverland
homes. staying up late in each other's
hearts and tied together wrist to wrist
by hoodie strings.
forever
young and so in love
to make this midwest dreamer
into a big city queen. don't let go of
the simple things, but turn down
the lights and hold on tight. let's be
everything and anything but
always a - we.
forever
young and living fast
but not enough to escape fate
and every self doubt. so i'll hold your
hand and we'll close our eyes. if they
can't see you, they can't see me. together
safe and sound and we'll hold onto
forever.
