Next Up Forever Lyrics

Your eyes are open
So never close them
You'll sail the ocean
Finding where you should be
And if you're broken
You'll make your own thing
You'll make it so big
For all the world to see
You'll make it so damn big
For all the world to see

I'm kinda scared to drop this album
Let's push it back another week
I wanna be next up forever
Find a way to never hit my peak
I kinda wish I was still a virgin
Time to finally see what sex is like
I wanna be next up forever
Forever I'll be second in line

Someday they'll be talking about me
Right now they're just walking around me
My God, are you growing without me?
Somebody help me (somebody help me)
Someday they'll be talking about me
Right now they're just walking around me
My God, are you growing without me?
Somebody help me (somebody help me, somebody help me, somebody help me)

This is my imagination
This is how it looks and sounds
But I gotta go so much bigger
So they can never shut me down
I'm kinda scared of graduation
'Cause who am I when this is done?
I wanna be next up forever
So the best is always yet to come

Someday they'll be talking about me
Right now they're just walking around me
My God, are you growing without me?
Somebody help me (somebody help me)
Someday they'll be talking about me
Right now they're just walking around me
My God, are you growing without me?
Somebody help me (somebody help me, somebody help me, somebody help me)

I gotta go so much bigger
So everybody's proud of me
Welcome to the Neotheater
Won't everybody take their seats?
And I'll be next up forever
'Cause I don't know what's coming next
I know I gotta grow up sometime
But I don't think I'm ready yet

I know I gotta grow up sometime
But I'm not fucking ready yet

Your eyes are open
So never close them
You'll sail the ocean
Finding where you should be
And if you're broken
You'll make your own thing
You'll make it so big
For all the world to see
You'll make it so damn big
For all the world to see

What is the Meaning of Next Up Forever?

Ever felt like you're on the brink of greatness but terrified of what comes next? AJR captures that vibe perfectly in this anthem for the perpetually almost-there. With eyes wide open and dreams sailing across oceans, they grapple with the fear of peaking too soon. Why drop an album when you can marinate in potential forever? 🌟 The song is a rollercoaster through anxiety and ambition, where graduation feels more like a cliff than a milestone. They want to be "next up" indefinitely, avoiding adulthood's inevitable arrival like it's a bad Tinder date. From virginity confessions to Neotheater welcomes, it’s a melodious tug-of-war between staying young and growing up. πŸš€ #ForeverNextUp #FearOfPeaking
