    Everybody has to get older
    Even Jenny
    She’s just nineteen
    Young and naive
    She wants to find a way to be endless
    fight the science
    And defiance
    And be timeless
    Silly little girl who tried to live forever
    To live forever
    Gave away her soul to buy a bit of pleasure
    Oh the bitter pleasure
    Wicked little boy who tried to steal her treasure
    For the bitter pleasure
    Now they're cursed forever
    Cursed together
    And if you could see
    The look in her eyes
    The wolf wore the sheep
    As a perfect disguise
    And she can’t believe
    That she fell for his lies
    He promised forever
    But she never knew the price
    He promised forever
    But she never knew the price
    He promised forever
    But she never knew the price
    And as she got a little bit older
    Look at Jenny
    Now she’s ninety
    Still looks nineteen
    And all she knows to do is surviving
    stay alive and
    Now she’s crying
    Cause she’s not dying
    Silly little girl who tried to live forever
    To live forever
    Gave away her soul to buy a bit of pleasure
    Oh the bitter pleasure
    Wicked little boy who tried to steal her treasure
    For the bitter pleasure
    Now they're cursed forever
    Cursed together
    And if you could see
    The look in her eyes
    The wolf wore the sheep
    As a perfect disguise

    I often think of this song and it’s interpretations. The saddest one I’ve come up with is that Jenny wanted to live forever, as in immortalized her youth... and by the lyrics speaking about pleasure and betrayal, I feel like it might be an intimate video/sextape and then... Jenny grew older but... that video is not dying, it still plagues her, like the man who played her and her heart for pleasure while she was in it for the feelings; just an interpretation of the lyrics.

      Elirogue if you think of it as a wide big picture, most celebrities either become better than they were before they were famous or become more worser than they before being better. Examples of Celebrities who are hated and disliked: Justin Bieber,Kanye West, Kim Kardashian. These 3 are just an example of what a person who gets enough attention can become if they themselves don't feel worthy as celebrities or as even people. We 're at a time when people more and more are feeling more negative and more unsure of their own future, I'm even unsure of my own, but back on track. "Does simply being a celebrity make you above men?(Money and Fame) Or equal in some way?(Fear,Sadness,Frustration)" Most people want to become celebrities, wants to be noticed but most don't realize that being center of attention brings alot of stress and anxiety to a person, knowing very well that all the Fans of them only wants the best outta of them and don't want the worst. I think that's why most Celebrities can turn awful personality wise... Cause of them get tired of being always perfect in music or just being too admired by fans. Whoever is reading this, many thanks and rather you like this comment or not, I hope it was interesting and honest for you. P.S. Alec Benjamin as a person definitely deserves to become a celebrity in the future, his music is both great and very profound both in the messages and tone of them. : )

    Alec, you have to take this off the shelf. I totally get shelving a demo, waiting for the right time, dealing with insecurities of the production... but this song has potential, and it needs to be a single on an album. It's time.

    Everybody has to get older
    Even Jenny, shes just nineteen, young and naïve
    She wants to find a way to be endless
    Fight the science and defiance
    And be timeless
    Silly little girl who tried to live forever (to live forever)
    Give away her soul to buy a bit of pleasure (oh the bitter pleasure)
    Wicked little boy who tried to steal her treasure (for the bitter pleasure)
    Now they're cursed forever (cursed together)
    And if you could see the look in her eyes
    The wolf was a sheep as a perfect disguise
    And she can't believe that she fell for his lies
    He promised forever, but she never knew the price
    He promised forever, but she never knew the price
    He promised forever, but she never knew the price
    As she got a little bit older
    Look at Jenny
    Now shes ninety
    Still looks 19
    All she knows to do is survivin'
    Stay alivin'
    Now she's cryin' cause she's not dyin'
    Silly little girl who tried to live forever (to live forever)
    Give away her soul to buy a bit of pleasure (oh the bitter pleasure)
    Wicked little boy who tried to steal her treasure (for the bitter pleasure)
    Now they're cursed forever (cursed together)
    And if you could see the look in her eyes

    And she can't believe that she fell for his lies
    He promised forever, but she never knew the price
    He promised forever, but she never knew the price
    He promised forever, but she never knew the pri-i-i-i-ice(idk how many i's that is lol)
    And if you could see the look in her eyes
    The wolf was a sheep as a perfect disguise
    And she can't believe that she fell for his lies

    He promised forever, but she never knew the price
    He promised forever, but she never knew the price

    Everybody has to get older
    Even Jenny
    She's just nineteen, young and naive
    She wants to find a way to be endless
    Fight the science, and defiance, and be timeless
    Silly little girl who tried to live forever, live forever
    Gave away her soul to buy a bit of pleasure, the bitter pleasure
    Oh wicked little boy who tried to steal her treasure, for the bitter pleasure
    Now their cursed forever
    Cursed together
    And if you could see
    The look in her eyes
    The wolf wore the sheep
    As a perfect disguise
    And she can't believe
    That she fell for his lies
    He promised forever
    But she never knew the price
    He promised forever
    But she never knew the price
    He promised forever
    But she never knew the price
    And as she got a little bit older
    Look at Jenny
    Now she's ninety
    She looks nineteen
    And all she know to do is surviving
    Now she's crying
    'Cause she's not dying
    That's the price when
    Silly little girl who tried to live forever, live forever
    Gave away her soul to buy a bit of pleasure, the bitter pleasure
    Oh wicked little boy who tried to steal her treasure, for the bitter pleasure
    Now their cursed forever
    Cursed together
    And if you could see
    The look in her eyes
    The wolf wore the sheep
    As a perfect disguise
    And she can't believe
    That she fell for his lies
    He promised forever
    But she never knew the price
    He promised forever
    But she never knew the price
    He promised forever
    But she never knew the price
    Silly little girl who tried to live forever, to live forever
    Gave away her soul to buy a bit of pleasure, oh the bitter pleasure
    Oh wicked little boy who tried to steal her treasure, for the bitter pleasure
    Now their cursed forever
    Cursed together
    And if you could see
    The look in her eyes
    The wolf wore the sheep
    As a perfect disguise
    And she can't believe
    That she fell for his lies
    He promised forever

    Its crazy to me that when I was in grade five I shared this song to my music class. I felt so passionate about this topic of living forever as I just finished reading tuck everlasting and I already knew this song prior but it just gives me so much passion. Alec helped little me open up my perspectives :) I will forever be greatful.

    I can't not say it now . Alec benjamin. You are in my eyes the best musician because you encapsulate the feelings of someones life so perfectly. People whose stories arent told u capture it in your poetry. And you take us along with you fostering a connection between these people and the part of ourselves we see in them. Thankyou, your music is one of a kind.
