1) I Don’t Wanna Live Forever - Bon Jovi

While the names might sound a little pessimistic at first glance, the lyrics of both songs are anything but. Both are upbeat songs that celebrate life, youth and happiness. They suggest that the important thing is not to live for a long period of time, but to feel happy and alive as long as you live. “I don’t wanna live forever” is a Bon Jovi outtake, recorded for 2000’s Crush album but it didn’t end up on the record.

Bon Jovi Lyrics

"Frank Sinatra died today

I came home and found my mama crying

The TV had so much to say

Somehow I was thinking about dying

I'm seventeen and thinking about dying

I don't want to live forever

Just want to know that I'm alive

Don't want to live forever

Just until the day I die

I see my daddy in his chair

He sits there night and day

The TV still looks good as new

Daddy's old and gray

And it's scaring me to death

I don't want to go that way

I don't want to live forever

Just want to know that I'm alive

Don't want to live forever

Just until the day I die

Just because your heart's still beating

It don't mean that you're alive

Don't want to live forever

Nobody lives forever

Gonna live while I'm alive"

2) I Don’t Wanna Live Forever - Bryan Adams

Bryan Adams’ “I don’t wanna live forever” is featured on Bryan Adams’ 1998 album On a Day like Today.

Bryan Adams Lyrics

"all i want is a real fast car

i wanna go too fast - i wanna go too far

i wanna take a bite of this sweet sweet life

while the gettin' is good and the time right

i wanna fill my cup - i wanna drink it up.

i don't wanna live forever

i just wanna go for broke

gonna ride thru any kind of weather

go out in a cloud of smoke

i don't wanna live - don't wanna live forever

don't wanna live - don't wanna live forever

all i need is a good excuse

you can cut my reins and turn me loose

i'm gonna pull my weight i'm gonna push my luck

i'm gonna go down fightin' when my time is up

you know i don't care - i'm gonna get my share.

i don't wanna live forever

i just wanna go for broke

gonna ride thru any kind of weather

go out in a cloud of smoke

i don't wanna live - don't wanna live forever

don't wanna live - don't wanna live forever

I don’t wanna live forever

Run to you- bryan adams, bon jovi"

3) Bon Jovi- Always Run to You

(Always) Run to You is from Bon Jovi’s not-so-commercially successful 2nd studio album Fahrenheit 7800, from 1985. It is pretty much about wanting somebody else while being with another person.

Bon Jovi Always Run to You Lyrics

"The clock strikes ten

Out on the streets again

I been looking for something to please me since I don't know when

Out on the dark side of town

Another rumble's gone down

And life on the high side isn't what this boys about

She's got something I want man, it's something I need

It takes more than the night to satisfy me...

[Chorus:]

I stand accused

I can always run to you

Any road that you choose

I can always run to you

I stand accused

I can always run to you

I run to you

Baby, I can always run

To a heart of chrome

And a soul of steel

We've done more white lines than you'll know any one we could steal

And when I give her the gun

You know she feels so right

And we don't let go when we're alone when I'm holding her so tight

She's got something I want man, it's something I need

It takes more than the night to satisfy me

[Chorus]

And when the morning comes and I go to sleep

When I close my eyes she's waiting for me

I know that tonight she'll satisfy me"

4) Bryan Adams - Run to You

From Bryan Adams’ 1985 album Reckless, hit song Run to You is also about cheating. In fact, I wrote about songs that told stories about cheating in this factoid 6 Rock Songs on Cheating: 1 Bryan Adams, 4 Bon Jovi and 1 KISS and a reader had reminded me that Run to You was also about cheating. He was right, I just hadn’t remembered to put the song on the list.

Bryan Adams - Run to You Lyrics

“She says her love for me would never die

But that'd change if she ever finds out about you and I

oh - but her love is cold

It wouldn't hurt her if she didn't know cause...

When it gets to much - I need to feel your touch”

I'm gonna run to you

I'm gonna run to you

cause when the feelin's right I'm gonna run all night

I'm gonna run to you

She's gotta heart if gold she'd never let me down

But you're the one that turns me on

You keep me comin' round

I know her love is true

But it's so damn easy makin' love to you

I got my mind made up - I need to feel your touch
