Lyrics of
Youre Gonna Live Forever In Me

Youre Gonna Live Forever in Me by John Mayer deals with themes of time, eternal love, and the cycle of life. Its often seen as a melancholy ballad discussing the inevitable end of all relationships while suggesting a persistence of love beyond the physical. It features a gentle melody primarily accompanied by piano.

A great big bang and dinosaurs
Fiery rain and meteors
It all ends unfortunately
But you're gonna live forever in me
I guarantee, just wait and see

Parts of me were made by you
And planets keep their distance too
The moon's got a grip on the sea
And you're gonna live forever in me
I guarantee, it's your destiny

Life is full of sweet mistakes
And love's an honest one to make
Time leaves no fruit on the tree
But you're gonna live forever in me
I guarantee, it's just meant to be

And when the pastor asks the pews
for reasons he can't marry you
I'll keep my word and my seat
But you're gonna live forever in me
I guarantee, just wait and see
