“Afraid of Forever” by Water Street is a beautifully relatable song that really hits home. It’s the kind of track that makes you think about love and the big “forever” question we all face in relationships. With a sound that’s a bit like Ben Howard and Hozier, the music mixes indie folk and soft rock vibes, creating a cozy, atmospheric feel.
The lyrics talk about feeling distant from someone, the uncertainty of staying together, and the fear of committing for the long haul. Lines like “Afraid of forever, trapped to a lifetime” really capture that scary but real feeling of wondering if you’re ready for a long-term relationship. It’s the kind of stuff we all think about but don’t always say out loud.
Water Street does a great job of putting these emotions into words, making it easy for anyone who’s ever been in a complicated relationship to relate. The chorus, especially, sticks with you and makes you reflect on your own feelings about commitment and whether you’re on the same page as your partner.
The music itself is beautifully put together, with soothing guitar and gentle background sounds that make the song feel warm and introspective.
“Afraid of Forever” by Water Street is perfect for those quiet moments when you’re in the mood to think about life and love.
Overall, “Afraid of Forever” is a heartfelt and thought-provoking song that’s perfect for anyone who’s ever wondered about the future of their relationship. It’s easy to connect with and beautifully captures the ups and downs of love. Definitely give it a listen—it’s one of those songs that stays with you long after it’s over!
