"Live Forever" lyrics

"Live Forever"

Maybe I don't really wanna know
How your garden grows
'Cause I just wanna fly
Lately, did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks you to the bone?

Maybe I just wanna fly
Wanna live, I don't wanna die
Maybe I just wanna breathe
Maybe I just don't believe
Maybe you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

I said maybe I don't really wanna know
How your garden grows
'Cause I just wanna fly
Lately, did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks you to the bone?

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
Now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Maybe I don't really wanna know
How your garden grows
'Cause I just wanna fly
Lately, did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks you to the bone

Maybe I just wanna fly
Wanna live, I don't wanna die
Maybe I just wanna breathe
Maybe I just don't believe
Maybe you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Gonna live forever
Gonna live forever
We're gonna live forever
We're gonna live forever
We're gonna live forever
We're gonna live forever

The melody of this song is based on The Rolling Stones' song "Shine A Light". Noel Gallagher wrote it before he joined Oasis while working for a building company in his hometown of Manchester.
This song helped the band get a record deal with Creation Records because it impressed its director Alan McGee. He said, "It was probably the single greatest moment I've ever experienced with them".
This single's cover image was a photo of John Lennon's childhood home, Mendips, taken by a photographer Michael Spencer Jones.
Noel Gallagher said about this song in 2011, "With every song that I write, I compare it to The Beatles. I've got semi-close once or twice, with 'Live Forever', for example… the solo on that is one of the greatest things in rock music."
