Chords for Clairo "4EVER" Official Lyrics & Meaning | Verified

I wrote this song the night before I left for college.
I didn't know if I liked the school.
I didn't know if that was the right fit for me.
So the mood was kind of just me being really confused.
I was like, I don't know what's going on.
Is it ever going to change?
Am I going to feel this way forever?
_ _ [C] _ _
[Em] _ _ The vocals on this song took me a really long time.
I'm still not 100% happy.
I'm always weirdly not satisfied with everything I do.
But I love this song and I worked so hard on it.
[N] _ _
_ _ It was hard to pinpoint where I was really at because nothing was happening with music.
I was just studying on college and I was like, you know, boys.
It's just lots of different things.
It's not simple. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I've made the best friends that I've ever had at school.
They are the first people I've met that really want me to grow and want me to be different
and are okay with me being weird and trying out new ideas.
They help me run with it instead of just being afraid of what people will say.
I was afraid I wasn't going to find people like that.
I was kind of afraid that it was going to be a lot of me being sad about not having friends. _
_ I'm lucky to have some friends from home that have been there from the very beginning and
nothing has changed because we're tight. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I'm thinking about how we were on our first date.
When you first meet someone and you start a relationship, everything's really exciting
and fun in the beginning.
That's a question I feel like people ask themselves all the time in relationships.
They're like, oh shit, hopefully I like this person five years from now. _
_ _ _ _ When you meet someone and they're like, oh yeah, totally.
You're like, oh my god, I would have had to explain that for ten minutes with someone
else, but you just get it. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I'm so affectionate.
It's gross.
I just love people.
I do.
Especially people that I am attracted to.
I'm just a lovey.
I got a tattoo of someone hugging themselves.
That's who I am.
_ [C] _ _
_ Commentary on bedroom pop.
Obviously, [F#] that was a little sexual thing.
I've never really had anything like that in a song, so it was edgy for me.
But also the bedroom pop thing.
I was like, oh my god, that works so well.
Because everyone expects me to be this bedroom pop artist.
It's kind of funny.
It's a little joke. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I don't know.
Sometimes when you have an experience with someone or you fight with someone or something
happens, there's another time [Em] where you guys sit down and you're just like, that was stupid.
I've had plenty of those.
At the end of the day, every person that worked on Forever genuinely liked it and just wanted
to add their magic to it.
Which is cool for me to learn that I can let my guard down a little bit.
So I want to continue to have it be that way.
_ I think I was just comfortable with being a control freak.
I'm learning to not be like that and just let it happen.
[D] _ [Em] _
