[Verse 1] I was born in a house full of hand-me-downs Hand-me-down shoes Hand-me-down doubts Walked to school Hit the corner to play pool Pocket change Little table Thought we ran the whole town Uni days Long nights Chasing grades and a laugh Got an award Mama framed it Said “You’re breaking the path” Clocked in Suit creased They called my name at the staff do Little glass plaque Thinking “Is this all I’ll pass through?” [Chorus] I don’t wanna stop at sixty I don’t wanna fade to grey I’ve seen pain I’ve seen joy Watched the mountains hold the rain I’ve seen rivers keep on running Past the places people leave Now I wanna live forever Live forever past my dreams (live forever past my dreams, hey) [Verse 2] Sat with grief in a car park Staring at the dashboard glow Lost a friend way too young Made me hate how fast years go Then I laughed till I cried holding babies I could barely hold Thought “If time is a story I wanna write mine bold” So if my heart keeps beating Let it beat for more than me Let these days turn to chapters someone else can read Every scar Every sunrise Every quiet in-between Stack it up Stack it up Till it outgrows me [Chorus] I don’t wanna stop at sixty I don’t wanna fade to grey I’ve seen pain I’ve seen joy Watched the mountains hold the rain I’ve seen rivers keep on running Past the places people leave Now I wanna live forever Live forever past my dreams (live forever past my dreams) [Bridge] Not just years on a cake But a name that remains In a story they tell When they speak of my days If the body gets tired Let my love still breathe In the ones coming after That’s forever to me [Chorus] I don’t wanna stop at sixty I don’t wanna fade to grey I’ve seen pain I’ve seen joy Watched the mountains hold the rain I’ve seen rivers keep on running Past the places people leave Now I wanna live forever Live forever past my dreams (live forever past my dreams, oh) Live forever past my dreams
