"The Man Who Lives Forever" lyrics

"The Man Who Lives Forever"

I said we're all gonna die but I'll never believe it
I love this world and I don't wanna leave it
Said that death is a deal that you cannot refuse
But I love you, girl and I don't wanna lose you

Don't want a long ride, I don't wanna die at all
I wanna be the man who lives forever
I ain't never gonna die and I want you to come

I said life is a tale, it begins and it ends
And forever's a word that we can't understand
Well, I know that my life's better when we're together
So why can't our story just go on forever?

Don't want a long ride, I don't wanna die at all
I wanna be the man who lives forever
I ain't never gonna die and I want you to come

I said life without end wouldn't have any meaning
The journey to death is the point of our being
Well, the point of my life is to be with you babe
But there ain't enough time in the life that they gave me

I said we're all gonna die but I'll never believe it
I love this world and I don't wanna leave it
Said that death is a deal that you cannot refuse
But I love you, girl and I don't wanna lose you

I wanna be the man who lives forever
And all those days and all those nights
Forever together, forever alive
