The meaning of the lyrics of the song "I Don't Wanna Live Forever" by the artist "Zayn (Malik)"

Contents

In their song "I Don't Wanna Live Forever," Zayn and Taylor Swift capture the agonizing pain of heartbreak and the desperate yearning for reconciliation.

The lyrics depict the protagonist consumed by loneliness and longing. They spend their days and nights agonizingly waiting for a call or message from their beloved, but to no avail.

The phrase "I don't wanna live forever" doesn't imply suicidal thoughts but rather expresses the unbearable feeling of emptiness without love. Life without their significant other seems meaningless and purposeless, driving the protagonist to cling onto the hope of reunion.

The recurring line "I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home" emphasizes the desperation and obsessive need to be with their loved one. The protagonist is willing to do anything to have them back and reclaim the lost sense of purpose in their life.

[Verse 1: ZAYN]

Been sitting eyes wide open behind these four walls, hoping you'd call,

It's just a cruel existence like there's no point hoping at all.

Baby, baby, I feel crazy, up all night, all night and every day,

Give me something, oh, but you say nothing,

What is happening to me?

[Chorus: ZAYN]

I don't wanna live forever, 'cause I know I'll be living in vain,

And I don't wanna fit wherever,

I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home,

I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home,

I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home.

[Verse 2: Taylor Swift]

I'm sitting eyes wide open and I got one thing stuck in my mind,

Wondering if I dodged a bullet or just lost the love of my life.

Baby, baby, I feel crazy, up all night, all night and every day,

I gave you something, but you gave me nothing,

What is happening to me?

[Chorus: ZAYN & Taylor Swift]

I don't wanna live forever, 'cause I know I'll be living in vain,

And I don't wanna fit, fit, babe, wherever, wherever,

I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home,

I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home,

I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home.

[Bridge: Taylor Swift & ZAYN]

I've been looking sad in all the nicest places.

Baby, baby, I feel crazy!

I see you around in all these empty faces.

Up all night, all night and every day.

I've been looking sad in all the nicest places.

Give me something, oh, but you say nothing.

Now I'm in a cab, I tell 'em where your place is.

What is happening to me?

[Chorus: ZAYN]

I don't wanna live forever, 'cause I know I'll be living in vain,

And I don't wanna fit wherever,

I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home,

I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home,

I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home,

I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home,

I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home.

[Outro: Taylor Swift & ZAYN]

I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home,

Until you come back home.
