about

Long time coming. Took a break cause I got wicked sick with an ear infection and I'm still recovering. Came up with this chorus melody over a week ago and I've slowly built on it since until yesterday, when I built the rest of the song. After playing with my keyboard a ton, I got a nice arrangement and went in hard on the lyrics. Very J-Pop inspired, though there's also some Young Veins, Muse, and Killers in there I think.

lyrics

Verse 1:
I've got a fever that's going up
I'm like a flickering light bulb tonight:
You said it without thinking, like it would mean nothing
But for the rest of my life

Pre-Chorus:
I'll ride constellations
And through the frustration
Devotion will follow us through

It all seems so pointless
Most lives aren't important
I know that it won't matter soon

Chorus:
I want to live forever
Without a second chance
Even if the sun burns out

Though I know I'll die tonight
So I have to tell you
Before the moon goes down

Verse 2:
Let's make a memory we can't forget
For when we're finally not kids anymore
I know what you're doing and three words could ruin
What stars are aligning us for

Pre-Chorus:
Youth takes a moment to splinter apart
Inside the palm of your hand

And time is exhausting
We'll all be forgotten
Apparently that's just the plan

Chorus:
I want to live forever
And ad lib all the lines
Even if the sun burns out

Though I know I'll die tonight
So I have to tell you
Before the moon goes down

*solo*
