For whatever reason the last week of August was a productive writing week and four songs came to life in five days.
This was the first of four, and on a Sunday night during some banjo strumming the tune for "Forever Fun" came first, (as the tune usually does), and then the next Monday morning lyrics started right before a training session for my job, so I jotted them down between taking notes and class discussion.
lyrics
I saw a woman yesterday, she looked like you, old memories came rushing back again
I almost went and lost my head, and forgot what’s real, so happy now I didn’t check back in
Every inspiration, every motivation, every conversation with you
All the elevation, all of the sedation, all the things we said we shouldn’t do
Is it funny, is it sad, is it good, is it bad, sometimes I still cannot decide
Motorcycles, waterfalls, railroad tracks, shopping malls, either way it was quite a ride
Every inspiration, every motivation, every conversation with you
All the elevation, all of the sedation, all the things we said we shouldn’t do
Forever smile forever fun, forever health, forever young, I see now our pictures are a lie
Is it better once you know, is it easy come and easy go this doesn’t mean that you should never try
Every inspiration, every motivation, every conversation with you
All the elevation, all of the sedation, all the things we said we shouldn’t do
