I could feel the cold night nippin' at my face

Sleeping in that Starter jacket, the one I wore all day

The hunger never seems to go away

We always said we wanted more than this sad depressing place

And that frozen bus seat on our way to school

We would build a rocket ship to fly us to the moon

And at 3 a.m. we left that little room

Our songs are all we carried walking down that country road

You don't always know where life is going

So you gotta keep going in your own direction

And keep your eyes fixed on the skyline

There's always hope if you keep trying

If you get back up, you might start flying

And we've seen 'em all come and gone their own way

But we were built to last, we stayed together

Would you look at us now

We said it back then, we said forever (forever, forever)

Don't count me out

Get up every time that they knock you down

Get up every time that they count you out

So I'm gonna keep dreaming through the hard days

And I'm gonna keep screaming, "Never say never!"

And let 'em all come and go their own way

I always knew we'd stay together

And would you look at us now

We knew it back then, we said forever (forever, forever)

We'd be together

Until forever comes, or forever's done
