This could be forever, Baby.

This could be forever—

maybe.

Do you like the sunshine?

Do you like the snow?

Do you wanna talk about it or be alone?

I think that you should know…

that this could be forever, Baby.

 

Open up your eyes and tell me whatcha thinkin'.

Open up your mind, and tell me whatcha seein'

inside of me.

Why we fussin', fuckin' up this evenin'?

I probably couldn't fix it if I knew the reason.

Up on the sea where I see you fallin' in the deep end…

Is it love?

I would really love to know the meanin'.

What's the grudge that you're holdin'?

Hold my hand let me take you to the land

where the ocean and the sands are meetin'.

Look at the sun;

all we need to see to know our freedom.

Open up your heart.

If we don't love, then we fall apart.

 

This could be forever, Baby.

I never seen you wetter, Baby,

than when the tears fall;

soakin' up your sweater, Baby.

I didn't mean harm.

Don't make me regret it, Baby.

 

'Cause if I never knew ya, I could never do this to ya.

Hope you understand: they never taught me how to be a man;

only how to be a shooter.

I only need the time to prove it.

 

My teachers told me we was slaves.

My mama told me we was kings.

I don't know who to listen to.

I guess we somewhere in between?

My feelings told me love is real,

but feelings known to get you killed.

I feel as if I'm misconstrued—

I spend my moments missin' you.

I'm searchin' for atonement.

Do I blame my darker tone?

I know somethings are better left unsaid

and people left alone.

Pick up the phone.

Don't leave me alone in this cruel, cruel world.
