Lyrics[]
(Sky Ferreira's version)
Blue jeans, white shirt.
Walked into the room,
And boy you made my eyes burn.
It was like, James Dean, for sure.
You so fresh to death,
And sick as cancer.
You were sort'a punk rock,
I grew up on hip-hop.
But you fit me better than my favourite sweater,
And I know that love is mean, and love hurts.
But I still remember that day,
We met in December, oh baby.
[Chorus]:
I will love you 'till the end of time,
I would wait a million years.
Promise you'll remember that you're mine,
Baby can you see through the tears.
Love you more than those bitches before,
Say you'll remember.
Say you'll remember.
I will love you 'till the end of time.
[Verse 2]:
Big dreams, gangster,
Said you had to leave to start your life over.
I was like "no please, stay here."
We don't need no money,
We can make it all work.
But he headed out on Sunday,
Said he'd come home on Monday.
I stayed up waiting, anticipating and pacing,
But he was chasing papers.
Caught up in the game,
That was the last I heard.
[Chorus]:
I will love you 'till the end of time,
I would wait a million years.
Promise you'll remember that you're mine,
Baby can you see through the tears.
Love you more than those bitches before,
Say you'll remember.
Say you'll remember.
I will love you 'till the end of time.
[Bridge]:
He went out every night,
And baby that's al. right.
I told you that no matter what you did,
I'd be by your side.
'Cause I'm "a ride or die,"
Whether you fail or fly.
Well shit, at least you tried.
But when you walked out that door,
A piece of me died.
I told you I wanted more,
But that's not what I had in mind.
I just want like before,
We were dancing all night.
Then they took you away,
Stole you out of my life.
You just need to remember.
[Chorus]:
I will love you 'till the end of time,
I would wait a million years.
Promise you'll remember that you're mine,
Baby can you see through the tears.
Love you more than those bitches before,
Say you'll remember.
Say you'll remember.
I will love you 'till the end of time.
[Outro]:
I will love you 'till the end of time,
And I would wait a million years.
