Can you be
a forever child
when your heartbeat
racks up like a winter tile
I did everything
they warned would outlast me
before I broke myself
on every single dream
I carried worlds
upon these bones
The lifetime cards
and undertones
When I was young
I swore I'd know no fear
Can you be
a forever child
when you're gray
but don't yet feel
that old inside
Can you stay
the same one more time
Can you be forever child
How could I still be
a forever child
I built my life
with bare shaking hands
Snowmen melting
castles turning back to sand
Nothing here is given
nothing here is kind
And nothing ever answers
questions in my mind
I watched the great ones
fall from thrones
Young heroes fighting
in the stone
who told us metal gods
could not be killed
Can you be
a forever child
when you're gray
but don't yet feel
that old inside
Can you stay
the same one more time
Can you be forever child
How could I still be
a forever child
Can you be
a forever child
when you're gray
but don't yet feel
that old inside
Can you stay
the same one more time
Can you be forever child
How could I still be
Can you be
a forever child
when you're gray
but don't yet feel
that old inside
Can you stay
the same one more time
Can you be forever child
How could I still be
a forever child
