For Forever - Ben Platt

Drive the winding country road

Grab a scoop at À La Mode

And then we’re there

An open field that’s framed with trees

We pick a spot and shoot the breeze

Like buddies do

Quoting songs by our favorite bands

Telling jokes no one understands

Except us two

And we talk and take in the view

All we see is sky for forever

We let the world pass by for forever

Feels like we could

go on

for forever this way

Two friends on a perfect day

We walk a while and talk about

The things we’ll do when we get out of school

Bike the Appalachian trail

or

Write a book or learn to sail

Wouldn’t that be cool?

There’s nothing that we can’t discuss

Like girls we wish would notice us but never do

He looks around and says to me

«There's nowhere else I’d rather be»

And I say, «Me too»

And we talk and take in the view

We just talk and take in the view

All we see is sky for forever

We let the world pass by for forever

Feels like we could go on for forever this way, this way

All we see is light for forever

'Cause the sun shines bright for forever

Like we’ll be alright for forever this way

Two friends on a perfect day

And there he goes

Racing toward the tallest tree

From far across the yellow field I hear him calling, «Follow me»

There we go

Wondering how the world might look from up so high

One foot after the other

One branch then to another

I climb higher and higher

I climb 'til the entire

Sun shines on my face

And I suddenly feel the branch give way

I’m on the ground

My arm goes numb

I look around

And I see him come to get me

He’s come to get me

And everything’s okay

All we see is sky for forever

We let the world pass by for forever

Buddy, you and I for forever this way, this way

All we see is light

'Cause the sun burns bright

We could be alright for forever this way

Two friends

True friends

On a perfect day
