Forever Young

Forever Young Lyrics
Let's dance in style,
Let's dance for a while,
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies,
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst,
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?

Let us die young or let us live forever,
We don't have the power but we never say never,
Sitting in a sandpit,
Life is a short trip,
The music's for the sad man.

Forever young, 
I wanna be,
Forever young,
Do you really want to live forever,
Forever,
Forever young.

Some are like water, some are like the heat,
Some are a melody of some other beat,
But sooner or later they all will be gone,
Why don't they stay young?

It's hard to get old without a cause,
I don't want to perish like a fading horse,
Youth is like diamonds in the sun,
And diamonds are forever.

Forever young, 
I wanna be,
Forever young,
Do you really want to live forever,
Forever,
Or never?

Forever young, 
I wanna be,
Forever young (forever),
Do you really want to live forever,
Forever,
Or never?

So many adventures couldn't happen today,
So many songs we forgot to play,
So many dreams are swinging out of the blue,
We let 'em come true.

Forever young, 
I wanna be,
Forever young,
Do you really want to live forever,
Forever,
Or never?

Forever young, 
I wanna be,
Forever young Do you really want to live forever,
Forever,
Or never?y

Forever young, 
I wanna be,
Forever young (forever),
Do you really want to live forever,
Forever,
Or never?

Forever young, 
I wanna be,
Forever young (forever),
Do you really want to live forever (forever),
Forever (forever),
Forever young...

Good Life by One Republic:

Good Life lyrics
Songwriters: Brent Michael Kutzle;Noel Zancanella;Eddie Ray Fisher;Ryan Tedder



Woke up in London yesterday
Found myself in the city near Piccadilly
Don't really know how I got here
I got some pictures on my phone

New names and numbers that I don't know
Address to places like Abbey Road
Day turns to night, night turns to whatever we want
We're young enough to say

Oh, this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

I say, "Oh, got this feeling that you can't fight"
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life, a good, good life

To my friends in New York, I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don't know
Where I've been for the past few years or so
Paris to China to Colorado

Sometimes there's airplanes I can' t jump out
Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now
We are God of stories, but please tell me
What there is to complain about?

When you're happy like a fool, let it take you over
When everything is out you gotta take it in

Oh, this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

I say, oh, got this feeling that you can't fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life, a good, good life
Oh, a good, good life, yeah

Hopelessly
I feel like there might be something that I'll miss
Hopelessly
I feel like the window closes oh so quick

Hopelessly
I'm taking a mental picture of you now
'Cause hopelessly
The hope is we have so much to feel good about

Oh, this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

I say, "Oh, got this feeling that you can't fight"
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life, a good, good life
Oh yeah, good, good life, good life, oh, this is

To my friends in New York, I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don't know

Where I've been for the past few years or so
Paris to China to Colorado

Sometimes there's airplanes I can' t jump out
Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now
We are God of stories but please tell me
What there is to complain about?

My Summary of  the song:

I have heard this song many times on the radio and also I have the  song on my I pod. I love this song because it inspires you to live your live to the fullest. I also live this song because it tells you to be who you want to be and let nothing hold you back and be the person that you were meant to be.
