[Verse 1: Tones And I]
Let's dance in style and dance for a while
Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst
Are you gonna drop the bomb on us?
Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power, we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sediment

[Chorus: Tones And I]
Forever young
I want to be forever young, yeah
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, forever young

[Verse 2: Tones And I]
Let's dance in style and dance for a while
Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst
Are you gonna drop the bomb on us?
Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power, we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sad man

[Chorus: Tones And I]
Forever young
I want to be forever young, yeah
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, forever young
Forever young
I want to be forever young, yeah
Do you really want to live forever?

Oh-oh-oh
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, forever young
Young, yeah
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Do you really want to live forever?

[Bridge: Jordan Dennis]
We're all crazy and I'm all gravy 'til it 180
And every day we'll wanna rotate it, the wrong way, wish I could pause 80
Back to the good old days, we made for the Lord take me
But we should stop to take the focus off the clock and give it all, we gotta love
Little kids, [?] just a little give, why we only in it for the minute? (Uh)
How many downs [?]time limited, I'm gonna spend it all doing what I want
We been teachers, leading [?] evil, [?] family [?]
[?] sequel [?]

[Chorus: Tones And I]
Forever young
I want to be forever young, yeah
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, forever young

Ooh, do you want to be forever young?
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, forever young

[Post-Chorus: Tones And I]
I-I, oh-oh-oh
