amanda rose riley - forever young lyrics

[verse 1]
when i was five
i used to think i would be settled
in some pastel yellow house by now
on a pretty little row of pastel colored houses
with a hardworking husband who looks like a prince
and a couple of funny, precocious little kids
i might be a pantsuit professional
or a working writer, or a teacher
at any rate, a stable job, not still just a dreamer

[chorus]
but i think i’d rather be forever young
than prematurely dead inside
to wake up every day and work on a dream
is a blessing i’d never take lightly
it’s not a failing

[verse 2]
these days
i wake up every morning just after eleven
spend most of my days reading and writing in bed
still living with my mom like when i was seven
but there’s meaning and method, i’ve got a direction
and the biggest surprise
is i never dreamed this life could make me so happy
[chorus]
but i think i’d rather be forever young
than prematurely dead inside
to wake up every day and work on a dream
is a blessing i’d never take lightly
it’s not a failing

[bridge 1]
and stoically settling for plan b
when you never even took plan a all the way
just because time marched on and you got afraid
that isn’t success

[bridge 2]
i used to hate songs like this too when i was afraid
so if you hate this song, it’s not too late
i used to hate songs like this too when i was afraid
so if you hate what i’m saying, it’s not too late

[chorus]
i think i’d rather be forever young
than prematurely dead inside
to wake up every day and work on a dream
is a blessing i’d never take lightly
it’s not a failing
it’s not a failing
