Struck like a lightning bolt at night
A wink and then a smile
Was enough to take me down
A force to penetrate the deep
Things I could not speak
But you got underground
Like you’d always been there

Forever
Till the last sun sets on the last day ever
And always
Since the darkness cracked with the first star-flicker
That’s how long my heart’s belonged and will belong to you

Young
I fixed my bright hopes high
I failed them though I tried to fill the empty space
But you make my hope complete
I marked it down in ink
You’re coursing through my veins
And you’ll always be there

Forever
Till the last sun sets on the last day ever
And always
Since the darkness cracked with the first star flicker
That’s how long my heart’s belonged and will belong to you
Well beyond the final song
And long before I knew
