Trouble With Forever

She said, «Forever's gonna be like this»
Class ring promise and a shotgun kiss
Blue jeans, smoke and backseat dreams
Make kids in love believe anything
She can’t feel rain in July without thinkin' about him
And he can’t see top-down, old Jeeps without thinkin' about her
We love how forever begins
But the trouble with forever is it always ends
Ooh-ooh-ooh
She thought love was a pretty, white dress
He thought the work was done when she said, «Yes»
Three hundred people heard her say, «I do»
But there was no one there when he said, «We're through»
And she can’t help sometimes wishin' they could start over
And he knows there’s so many things that he should have told her
We love how forever begins
But the trouble with forever is it always ends
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
He holds her hand as she says, «Goodbye»
Fifty years in the blink of an eye
As close to forever as you’ll ever get
The trouble with forever is it always ends
