Forever Coming Down Lyrics

Each ticker-tape parade is followed by a broom brigade
To sweep up all the mess we made
Don't let me off this float

Each smiley face I see reminds me of the agony
But every love ends in defeat
Don't ever let me go

Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
In the end we're sent to bed and put to sleep
But not me

I'm never coming down
Not ever coming down
Forever coming down

In a hot air balloon the moon hangs low and so do you
I pop a bottle of champagne
And toast a love grown cold

Keep pushing into me, the [?] a tapestry
Why can't we live so blanketed
In the moment we explode

Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Flashy fireworks decay into debris
But not me

I'm never coming down
Not ever coming down
Forever coming down

I'm never coming down
Not ever coming down
Forever coming down

I'm never coming down
Not ever coming down
Forever coming down

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

According to Tim himself: "This was one of the first songs written for the album and helped set a tone for the style we wanted to capture. This song is very 120 Minutes to me (that’s Subterranean to you younger kids) (That’s… YouTubing alternative band videos?!?! to you much younger kids). This song’s lyrics also works as the main template for the amazing artwork illustrated by Dan Black."
