I'll Wait Forever

      A while ago Andy Grammer came to Provo gave an amazing concert at BYU.  He sang this song "Forever" that hasn't been recorded yet, only performed live.  I'm pretty sure it was just about everyone's favorite song by the end of the night.  I'm waiting for its release so I can have it for my own, but it seems as though it will be "forever" before it comes.  In the meantime there are two recordings of it I listen to, provided below.
    The first video is a random concert video which I only listen to because it is the clearest version I can find of the song.

    The second isn't complete, but it's a recording from the Provo concert where I heard it for the first time.  I would like to point out the difference in excitement between the two crowds.  This is because in Provo, although we do not drink (I would even argue it is partly because of this fact), we know how to party.


    I haven't been able to find them anywhere, so I took the liberty of transcribing the lyrics of this unreleased single myself.  Introducing the lyrics of Andy Grammer's "Forever":

Forever
By Andy Grammer

It’s amazing the time that it’s taking
for you to come out here
I don’t know what you’re doin there
There’s only so many ways
you can change how light will hit your face
Or how you can fix your hair

Cause you only got two eyes two lips so wide
It shouldn’t really take long at all
But when you finally smile cause
It’s just right
Babe you look beautiful

But you take forever ever ever ever
Then you’re always worth waiting for
You take forever ever ever ever
I guess I’ll wait a little more
Now I know it’s time I realize I’m a be spendin half my life
With my back up against the door
Cause you take forever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever
But you’re always worth waiting for

And you lie through your teeth when you try to convince me
That you’ll be
That you’ll be out in less than five
Because we both know that the only way you will let me in
Is if we set this whole place on fire

You already said you had the perfect dress
So why you gotta try them all
No matter how late it gets I must confess
Babe you look beautiful

But you take forever ever ever ever
But you’re always worth waiting for
You take forever ever ever ever
I guess I’ll wait a little more
Now I know it’s time I realize I’m a be spendin half my life
With my back up against the door
Cause you take forever ever ever ever ever ever ever
But you’re always worth waiting for

Say hey
I guess you treat me well
Because I always end up singing to myself
You take forever long

I’ll wait forever long
You take forever ever ever ever
But you’re always worth waiting for
You take forever ever ever ever

I guess I’ll wait a little more.

     Do I really need to say more? I feel that this perfectly describes my feelings toward women.  There are things women do that in the "man" style of thinking make absolutely no sense.  Sometimes I just don't think that way or even truly understand how you as a 'woman' feel.  But, deep down, those things outside of my understanding are just the things that are so fascinating and attractive about women.  Could it be infuriating that we're always late, that my side of the closet is mostly filled with your shoes or that sometimes, for no reason at all, you need to cry without me trying "fix" things?  Yes, but it's not.  It's adorable.  Being late because of a woman is a badge of honor.  That one special woman, in particular, is "always worth waiting for."
