Forever, I Guess

rock, ’90s pop-rock ballad with jangly rhythm guitars and steady live kit, mid-tempo sway, Male lead opens with warm, slightly raspy tone; female vocals answer with playful, athletic yodel inflections, Choruses lift with stacked harmonies, bright piano, and soaring call-and-response hooks, Final chorus modulates up a half-step, drums open up with tom fills and crash swells as both voices lock into a joyful, anthemic outro, pop, complex, male vocals, slow, female vocals

[Verse 1] You’re on my couch in my old sweatshirt Feet on the table Stealing my fries I clear my throat Heart doing backflips You roll your eyes like “Here we go Guy” [Pre-Chorus] I say “What if we just stay like this Till our hair goes gray?” You grab the remote Change the channel Then you hear me say [Chorus] Be with me forever Through every dumb little Tuesday night Be with me forever From burnt toast breakfasts to pillow fights I’m laying my heart out Baby Here and now Be with me forever C’mon Just say it out loud [Verse 2] You take a breath like you’re onstage somewhere Hand to your chest Dramatic bow You point at me Turn the room to a spotlight Then you let that wild laugh out [Pre-Chorus] You go “Boy You sure you’re ready For my brand of crazy?” Then you flip it into mountain echoes Teasing me like [Chorus] Be with me forever Through every dumb little Tuesday night Be with me forever From burnt toast breakfasts to pillow fights [Bridge] [low male vocal register] I’m not asking for perfection Just your socks on my floor Your name on my coffee cup Your key in my door [female vocal Playful] You want the snoring and the stories Every side of me? [complex yodeling answer] Ya-ee Ya-lee Ya-loo Not so easy [male vocal over her yodel] I’ll take the thunder and the sunshine Every shade of you I’ll chase your echoes up those hills till You say “Okay I do” [Final Chorus] [crescendo Both vocals] Be with me forever (ya-ee, ya-lee, ya-loo, alright) Through every dumb little Tuesday night Be with me forever (ya-lee, ya-loo, I just might) From burnt toast breakfasts to pillow fights [Tag] [female vocal Soft then building] Ya-ee Ya-lee Ya-loo I’m in [male vocal joining] Hand in hand Through thick and thin [both] Be with me forever Yeah Forever We begin
