Only Forever

If I'm dead and this
Is playing at my funeral
Then to my body I beg
Rest your tired head
You were exactly who you
Promised you would be
Just rest in peace
You knew that this day was coming
They said that this never ends well
Oh well
Don't be afraid this is just forever
So let me say what I've been dying to say
My words are spoken for but I’ll try to explain
Yeah I’ll try to explain
And there’s nothing that will stop
The clocks from from spinning,
No cure for time itself
It’s not a curse to be lifted
Don't blink won't want to miss it
It’ll pass you by
And you've heard a thousand times now
It’s not a curse to be lifted
But it’s enough to make you lose your mind
While they’re all searching for things that don't exist
(For things that don't exist)
We will be just fine knowing that we lived
If I'm dead and this
Is playing at my funeral
Then to my body I beg
Rest your tired head
Unless you think there’s somewhere else
You have to be just rest in peace
And you can bury me
But you'll never bury my words
You'll never bury my words
(Words)
It’s not a curse to be lifted
But it’s enough to make you lose your mind
While they’re all searching for things that don't exist
They’re running down all the time they could have spent
We will be just fine knowing that we lived
If I'm dead and this
Is playing at my funeral
Then to my body I beg
Rest your tired head
Unless you think there’s somewhere
Else you have to be
Just rest in peace
In my head I’ll find
A place for every memory to hide
I’ll spend forever losing track of time
You were exactly who you
Promised you would be
Just rest in peace
Don't be afraid this is just forever
