Bastille - Forever Ever Lyrics






I don't wanna talk about it [8x]

I see ahead of me a light that takes my breath
If we're only ever looking back, then how can we expect
To see each other as we are, for all that we've become
Would be friends at all if we weren't friends when we was young?
And I want to feel close to you for more than just a sake,
Of the place that we grew up in and all them times that we got baked in the park
Look, if you take me apart, you'll find half of me is you but half of me is asking me to start anew

You look the same but I don't recognize you,
I'm looking you dead in the face and I can't find you
Don't like the way we always talk in the past tense,
Can't explain the present 'til you work out what the past meant

These are the days that bind us together, forever
And these little things define us, forever, forever

All this bad blood here, won't you let it dry?
It's been cold for years, won't you let it lie?

There's a man I've known for years, and still to this day do I know him
I love him very much, it's very hard for me to show him
Back then and even now I feel there's something that I owe him
And that feeling should be going over time but no it's growing
We was kid mates, making mistakes, playing give take
Big hearts battling them big snakes, rattling their tails
He was like the wind in my sails, I was like the water for his keel, it was real
It use to hurt my flesh that his worn scars were heated still
He use to hurt his flesh just to see if he could feel
He took out a long straw, he was never really the strong sort
Got into the wrong sport, big swigs, long snorts
Caught in that spiral, saw attempts to help him sparkle
But soon he got so down that he got on the brown, word got around
People did not like the sound, they told me to stop popping round to see him
I kept disagreeing, soon he was a different being
He got into stealing, robbing, I still see him frequent afterwards you'd think would open eyes were throbbing
You could stop him freaking out, but to speak about the things that made him weak, his doubt
And to stop his rolling sentence, faced with paper pen to write his actions spoke dependence
Friendship became difficult to say the least, he played the beast so well
I wondered how I would ever make our peace
That's when we drifted, never argued, it just became clear
The parts of him I loved so well would slowly disappear

Those are the days that bind us together, forever
These little things define us, forever, forever

All this bad blood here, won't you let it dry?
It's been cold for years, won't you let it lie?

Ready or not, here I come, you can't hide
I'm going to find you and take it slowly

Ready or not, here I come, you can't hide
I'm going to find you and make you want me

    KATE TEMPEST!!! such an underrated artist!! so incredible to hear her on a bastille track.

  2. G.... K....

    I don't wanna taco 'bout it

  3. H.... S....

    Hello from 2018! It’s been 4 years since this came out, and I’ll come back in another 4 years and hope we’ve got at least one more album.

    H.... S....

    Hunter Svenson "soon"

    H.... S....

    Sarah Skelly still “soon”

    H.... S....

    How about now?

    H.... S....

    14th June bois

  4. I.... L....

    Pushing this because I recently rediscovered the mixtape and am falling in love head over heels again.

  5. T.... R....

    Currently using this playlist as revision music, such a relaxing set of mix tapes. Love it!! ♥

  6. A.... B....

    Every time man

  7. M.... M....

    wild world is out but i'm still here listening to this💖

  8. R.... ....

    I can't wait to see people commenting on this video after the new album is released, I've been a stormer for a good couple of years now :) they certainly deserve more fans

    R.... ....

    Same ❤️

    R.... ....

    Some of us just keep coming back to this song... and all others... tbf once a stormer there is no escaping it

  9. H.... P....

    This is kinda just an add on-ish thing for Bad Blood.This is confusing me very much this is not ok

  10. H.... I....

    What's this background music ?? The humming ?

    H.... I....

    dint ready or not sample enya thou?

    H.... I....

    aye, but they added instruments to it, so i figured i'd suggest the fugees sample, rather than enya's original, as that's what this song is using. the original is 'boadicea', which is a really nice song still, so listen to both :)

    H.... I....

    it's from "I don't wanna know" by Mario Winans.

    H.... I....

    +Christian Oneill it was sampled by Mario Winans, The Fugees and multiple other artists, but that's not where it's from or who it's by. The song is Boadicea by Enya.

    H.... I....

    All these people saying its from bla bla and then saying no, its from bla bla. NO! Its from goddes ENYA. All the other losers doing remakes of it and then saying its theirs need to stop...

  11. B.... F....

    I could listen to these mixes all day long. So calming and often thoughtful pieces of art.

  12. A.... B....

    So much better than Bad Blood

  13. T.... O....

    I ♥ Bastille

  14. R.... C....

    author, poet, musician, rapper and appears to be very humble.  doesn't even hide behind make-up.  how could you not like Kate Tempest

  15. s.... ....

    My god, this woman cant sing to save her life.

    s.... ....

    Well, she is NOT supposed to be able to sing. She's rapping, not singing.

    s.... ....

    "people who dance are thought to be mad by those who cant hear the music"

    s.... ....

    I know, right?

  16. L.... ....

    Kate ist so great! ♥

  17. m.... ....

    I thought the background was Enya's "Boadicea" but nope, I believe it's The Fougees "Ready Or Not"

    m.... ....

    Ready or Not uses Boadicea, so you're right on both counts

  18. g.... ....

    Cant believe this is the first time ive heard this reused, such a nice beat.

  19. W.... M....

    Love this song Awesome!

  20. B.... ....

    And this whisper: "I don't wanna talk about it" is from...?

    B.... ....

    It's probably from Bad Blood. :)  

    B.... ....

    @Tanti Greenly @Equine Obsession wow, i've heard bad blood like hundreds of times and never caught that :O

    B.... ....

    @Tanti Greenly but seriously, i always thought it's just some mixed sounds, not  words, bad blood will be like a totally new song from now on ;) what US performance you mention?

    B.... ....

    @Tanti Greenly sorry i can't see the link anywhere (?), i watched this performance before and i was staring at boys and not focus on the lyrics i guess ;) but thanks for reminding this and have a nice day!

  21. M.... F....

    together forever

  22. R.... W....

    This is a different version of the song, this was probably the original version with a different name that probably got changed when they made the album version of the song. I've seen the same thing happen before with a Florence and the Machine song originally titled "ghosts" but the album edition came out as "I'm not calling you a liar". Hope this clears up any confusion.

  23. N.... R....

    my bad blood, forever; ever...

  24. B.... P....

    I love it depressing but amazing

  25. J.... S....

    nobody can dislike this song

  26. S.... A....

    OOh there's a link where you can legally download the album - go to the itsallindie site and search.

  27. K.... i....

    You'll have to download the 'Other People's Heartache' mixtape.

  28. R.... B....

    The main song is "Ready Or Not", by The Fugees. The chorus is Bad Blood, from Bastille.

  29. c.... ....

    Almost every band that I've heard, I've been disappointed about a lot of the songs but liked most of their songs. i have yet to hear a song by Bastille that i don't like.

  30. A.... R....

    sorry if that confused you. The Ashlyn Rock account is the gmail one I have on my phone. GladYouCame9 is my computer account.

  31. A.... R....

    Okay thanks x

  32. M.... ....

    Those lyrics though... Damn you Bastille, dem feels.

  33. A.... R....

    I don't know, I heard that it wasn't available anymore because of copyright or something like that.

  34. A.... R....

    Semi Sem I think you mean EVER HEARD.

  35. t.... ....

    Bastille is a band :D

    t.... ....

    thisissick I guess you’re right

  36. A.... R....

    Bastille is amazing. I need this album. Where can I get it?

  37. S.... Y....

    BASTILLE IS THE BEST SINGER I EVER HERE!!!!!!!:D ♥♥

  38. J.... B....

    I thought it was Mario Winans - I don't wanna know

  39. T.... N....

    Enya - Boadicea is the humming song in the background, but that is pretty much the whole song, only humming :3

  40. P.... ....

    chorus is bad blood also by bastille

  41. P.... O....

    In the words of William Shakespeare "This fucking rocks"

  42. R.... O....

    Fugees - Ready or not :-)
