forever fifteen

One, two, three— Make a wish with me.

Sneakers on, we’re out the door,

Same old street, but it feels like more,

Got our dreams written on our sleeves,

Running faster than we ever believed.

We don’t know where we’re gonna go,

We don’t know who we’re gonna be,

But if tomorrow moves too fast,

Tonight belongs to you and me.

I wanna be

forever fifteen,

Dancing like nobody’s watching the scene,

Big-big dreams and a heart that screams,

“Maybe we can be

anything!” Takeout boxes on the bedroom floor,

Laughing so hard that we can’t talk anymore,

Making promises we don’t have to keep,

Just two best friends with impossible dreams.

What if we change?

What if we grow?

Then wherever we go— We’ll carry this moment wherever we go.

Fifteen, forever in my memory,

Fifteen,

you and me.

And smile at who we were,

Not forever young, just forever

us.
