Michael Friedman - The Next Forever lyrics

Since I left you I feel like
I’ve lost all perspective
Like nothing is real
And I feel like the last living man
All alone in a boat with no hope and no plan

And you're right that I’m not optimistic
I guess when like me
You just look at statistics
But, it's crazy the way people say
I live each moment like it my last
I don't think past today
For the next fifty years
For the next hundred years
For the next forever the next forever

Without us the world will still go
The bactеria will thrive
And the grass will still grow
And the trash will float by
And thе sun will still rise
And new plants will learn
How to photosynthesize

But, I don't want to be the last one
With my little blue recycling
Box when it's done
And statistics can just leave you numb
And statistics are deaf
And statistic are dumb
But like widows we wait for
The ships that won't come

And you were my contingency
The straight chance that changed just who
I hoped I could be

For the next fifty years
For the next hundred years
For the next forever the next forever
I'm a little boat floating alone in the sea
As a great ship goes by, never noticing me
But, I'll just keep looking
For what I can see
Trying to look for each contingency

For the fifty years

For the next million years
