about

Have you ever felt like you want to change the world? That’s what this song is about. It’s about how you want to be great and yet you feel you keep falling short and so you keep trying again and again until that becomes its own flaw — that you’re someone who doesn’t know how to quit. This song is about wanting to matter, wanting your life to matter, not wanting to be erased, wanting to be better and to feel better and to have a happier life.

lyrics

I want to live forever 
I want to have five children
I want a brand new car 
And a nice umbrella 
I want to live forever 
I want to have five children
I want a brand new car 
And a nice umbrella 
I want a house to live in
I don’t believe in heaven
I’ve never seen that heaven
Don’t want to hurt no more
Don’t know what is the reason
Life just won’t let me be happy
Don’t know what is the reason
Life just won’t let me be happy
You tried to get it
You didn’t get it
You almost got it
You don’t know how to quit
You don’t know how to quit
Tried to get it
You didn’t get it
You almost got it
You don’t know how to quit
I want to live forever
I want to live forever
Don’t want to hurt no more
Don’t want to hurt no more
Don’t know what is the reason
Life just won’t let me be happy
I’m just a simple person
Oh you know how I do
I want to be so free
Life just won’t let me be happy
You’ve got to learn to let go
You’ve got to learn to let go
I want to live forever
I want to live forever
Life just won’t let me be happy
It don’t take much more
than seven million dollars
I want a million dollars and a fancy car
I want a happy childhood
I want to fix the problems
I want to see my grandma
I want to be a star
I want to be a star
I want to be a flower
I want to be the rain
And cleanse the world of pain
Just seven million dollars
I want a million dollars
I want to go to heaven
So I can try again
Ah
Again
Take me to Ilorin
I’m ready
Oh again
