Never gonna go away 
Never gonna go away 
Never gonna go away 
Never gonna go away 
Never gonna go away 
Never gonna go away 

So we sit and we wait 
For the curtains to fall 
And there are words we could use 
But should never say at all 
But you do, you do, you do 
You do, you do, you do 
We met in the courtyard 
Where no one would notice 
Two kids contemplating 
All high school had shown us 
And I told you I loved you 
And I knew you believed it 
As I quited my conscience 
Hoping you wouldn't see it 
But I do, I do, I do 
I do, I do, I do 

I just want to be with you tonight 
All us sat here by candlelight 
I paid my dues so don't be rude 
Stop putting up a fight 
I just want to get with you tonight 

But "No" they say 
What doesn't kill you 
Makes you stronger 
But the questions remain 
Until you can't take it any longer 
But I am still so young 
And I didn't know I could be so dumb 
And you your still so young 
But now I know that your so dumb 

Never gonna go away 
I'm never gonna go away 

I just want to be with you tonight 
All us sat here by candlelight 
I paid my dues so don't be rude 
Stop putting up a fight 
I just want to, I just want to, I, I, I, 
I do, I do, I do, 
I do, I do, I do, 

So what about you 
Never satisfied 
I'm never satisfied 
Never satisfied 
So let them all fall 
Side by side 

Side by side 
One more will fall tonight
