I was about 12 when this song came out, and even then the title of this song, "Forever Now" seemed to me to be the idea of a moment lasting forever. It made the song confusing to me, but I think it does make sense. Turning points in our life - walking away from a lover, from a life we have always lived, or when love was first pledged - a part of us is left there, we live it over and over. In a way, that moment exists for us "forever." As a result, I think it's not just a sad song, it's also heart-warming. We may forever be leavbing that lover, but we always will exist in that moment of falling in love too. Forever Now. Somewhere in eternity we are lovers forever.
