As Far As Forever Lyrics

I'm home for the weekend; my father keeps asking me why
I stopped having faith in that place people go when they die
I sat in silence, then said, "I guess heaven sounds nice"
It's hard to believe, but a part of me hopes that he's right

'Cause as far as forever knows
We might just be matter that's scattered around in the dark
As far as forever knows
We might as well try to be happy wherever we are
I don't have the anecdotes, but I know it's not easy
To live without a little hope, so I'm gonna keep you close
As far as forever goes, as far as forever goes

She asked me honestly if I believe love can last
I looked in her eyes as I've tried not to reference the past
'Cause grief makes you grow, and you don't get to know in advance
And who knows what we'd miss if we didn't give this a chance?

'Cause as far as forever knows
We might settle down in a house with an oak in the yard
As far as forever knows
We might crash and burn, but at least we'll have learned who we are
I don't have the anecdotes, but I know it's not easy
To dream a new version of home, but I promise you're not alone
As far as forever goes, as far as forever goes

I wish for eternity
You might end up hurting me, begging for bliss
Only to miss the beauty in front of me

As far as forever knows
This moment has already left an indelible mark
As far as forever knows
We might as well try to be happy wherever we are
I don't have the anecdotes, but I know it's not easy
To see the time come to a pause
I'll always be with you, though, as far as forever goes
As far as forever goes, as far as forever goes
