Lyrics

(Verse 1)
We were barefoot dreamers on a red dirt road,
Tangled up in midnight, nowhere else to go.
Didn't need money, didn't need plans,
Just a rusty old Chevy and each other's hands.
You looked at me like nothin' could break us,
Like love was the only thing that could shape us.
We swore we'd make it come hell or high seas--
Back when forever was easy.

(Chorus)
Back when forever was a word we believed,
Spoken soft and wild like a summer breeze.
We thought hearts don't break, and time don't fly,
And kisses meant always, not goodbye.
Now I sit here wonderin' how it slipped past me--
Those days back when forever was easy.

(Verse 2)
We built our castle in a cotton field,
Said, "It ain't much, but baby, it's real."
Every laugh, every tear, we took in stride,
Never thought we'd run out of try.
But promises age and stars fall fast,
And somehow we lost what we thought would last.
Now I'm countin' moments and memories--
Back when forever was easy.

(Chorus)
Back when forever was a word we believed,
Spoken soft and wild like a summer breeze.
We thought hearts don't break, and time don't fly,
And kisses meant always, not goodbye.
Now I sit here wonderin' how it slipped past me--
Those days back when forever was easy.

(Bridge)
Maybe we were young, maybe we were wrong,
But love sure felt right in that front porch song.
I'd give anything just to go back one time,
To you in the moonlight sayin' "You'll always be mine..."

(Final Chorus)
Back when forever was a word we believed,
Before the silence, before the need to leave.
We thought love was a line we'd never cross,
Never counted forever as something we lost.
Now I'm holdin' on to a faded memory--
Of us... back when forever was easy.
