We Try To Live Forever by Dave Deal On the streets below as we all stood together Making vows, friendships would never end We would sneak away, disappear into the night Searching desperately for the girls Ducking down the alleyway, staying just one step ahead �Cause, the law, they knew us all by name Hanging around the shopping malls, playing our favorite videos With reasons, no one seemed to know CHORUS We tried; we tried to live forever, I know We tried; we tried to live forever, I know Yeah; yeah; yeah, I know Meeting at the coffee shop, waiting for Judy to get off We all knew her, we all stood in line Sneaking in the drive in show, always parked on the back row Bragging �bout cars, getting drunk or our last fight Hoping that the girls would know what the back seat was for that night (Repeat Chorus) But the only way is if we stay together The only way I can see As the pages turn and our lives keep on going Never realizing that we were all growing up (BRIDGE) We never looked into the future but we always talked about our past Oh, those teenage years never seemed to end But when they did, it was like, they went by so fast (Repeat Chorus) Tried to live forever, yeah We tried� (Repeat and fade) Author: Dave Deal Email: [email protected]
