Forever Lyrics
Hey, you, oh, remember me? Remember love?
Remember trying to stay together?
My time, oh, you took it all, you tried to see
You tried to bring yourself up without involving me
It isn't fair to have your way
To try and get up and go, oh, na-na, na-na-na, now
Can't you see? It isn't fair to have your way
But I'm trying to get your attention, I need you to know that
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, you, hey, you, can't you make this sane?
I know, I know, I know you ain't the one to play the game
Now, I know I, I'm never gonna go your way
If you go, oh, now, I know, I know, know, know
[Chorus]
Forever we tried to make it right
But together, we saw the end in sight
I'm tired of fighting the good fight
If you say the word, then I'll say goodbye
Forever I see you and me
Forever I'll try for you and I
No, I never believed in their insight
Just another good reason to get it right
I don't wanna turn around, so come on, baby
Come on and try to let it out
Let go, we're still the same, so come on, baby, trigger the sound
Let's figure it out, let's get back to where we started out
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, you, hey, you, can't you make this sane?
I know, I know, I know you ain't the one to play the game
Now, I know I, I'm never gonna go your way
If you go, oh, now, I know, I know, know, know
[Chorus]
Forever we tried to make it right
But together, we saw the end in sight
I'm tired of fighting the good fight
If you say the word, then I'll say goodbye
Forever I see you and me
Forever I'll try for you and I
No, I never believed in their insight
Just another good reason to get it right
[Bridge]
Go, go, go, go, get out, get out of my memory
No, no, no, not tonight, I don't have the energy
Go, go, go, go, get out, get out of my memory
No, no, no, not tonight, oh, not tonight, oh, not tonight
Forever we tried to make it right
But together, we saw the end in sight
I'm tired of fighting the good fight
If you say the word, then I'll say goodbye
But forever I see you and me
Forever I'll try for you and I
No, I never believed in their insight
Just another good reason to get it right
Forever we tried to make it right
But together, we saw the end in sight
I'm tired of fighting the good fight
If you say the word, then I'll say goodbye
Forever I see you and me
Forever I'll try for you and I
No, I never believed in their insight
Just another good reason to get it right
[Outro]
Forever we tried, forever we tried (Tried, tried, yeah)
Forever we tried, forever we tried (Tried, tried, yeah)
Forever we tried, forever we, forever we tried (Tried, tried)
Forever we tried, forever we tried (Tried, tried)
About
Comprised of elegant 80’s rock sounds, R&B soul flavour and a smidgen of disco pop beats, Haim’s “Forever” pays clear tribute to Michael Jackson’s killer single “Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'”, as the rhythm strongly suggests.
It was also the first track off their debut album, Days are Gone, that was released as a music video:
In 2012, the single was originally available as a free download from their official website.
The 3 rockstar sister trio from LA performed this song on the Late Show with David Letterman on October 6th, 2013.
Praise for “Forever” by Coleman Gray, staff writer from The Bottom Line:
When Haim’s first single, “Forever,” made its round in 2012, Haim almost instantly became the newest darlings of the Internet music scene. Featuring a polished sound that evokes the soft-rock of the 1980s with a modern, harder sensibility, Haim (rhymes with “time”) quickly became a sensational band and a great musical enigma that people couldn’t quite figure out. And even though we may never figure out how they managed to create such an inclusively eclectic sound, their listeners are glad they did. For, while these three 20-something sisters from Los Angeles may have blown everyone away with “Forever,” the Sept. 27 release of their debut album, “Days Are Gone,” shows that their single was merely an introductory note to what this band can do. “Days Are Gone” features not only the brilliant “Forever,” but also 10 other praise-worthy songs that affirm Haim deserves all the adoration that was first heaped on them."
