Forever, Forever Lyrics

(not accurate to album performance)

There are these two women

And they are on their first date

And they're both kind of nervous

I guess just because it is a first date

But they are walking by Virginia Court

And one of them women has the idea to lay her hand on the others

And then lace her fingers into the others fingers

They keep their hands like this for the rest of the date

They walk around and they love this connection so much

So much so that they go on more dates and keep doing this hand thing

And eventually they just become one

In a field we held each other

At a bend in the grass you held your grace

And let the hair fall down your shape

You hate when people are pale and underweight

But you swear I'm beautiful in your sight

And in the dark I held your shape

A dark blue sea takes over me

Busy like a station, you step into the wave

And we let it bring us back

(not accurate to album performance)

And these two girls spend the rest of their lives together

And when they were younger they visited California

They go to a beach in San Diego and they have this locket

Which has both of their faces in it, one on each side

They throw it into the ocean and they dance and go about their lives

But unfortunately, as life goes, one of them dies

The other, remembering this locket, goes to that beach and searches for hours and hours

She swims and digs but no luck

She gives up and lays by the waves

Then, all of a sudden, it washes up.

The locket!

She opens it

Only to find that the photo of her partner is missing

Only hers is left

She just became one with the earth in death
