Red Hot Chili Peppers - never is a long time

이 곡은 사랑의 소중함과 함께 시간이 흘러도 변치 않는 감정을 강조한다
주인공은 누군가와의 특별한 관계를 통해 새로운 깨달음을 얻고, 그 사람을 '별'로 묘사하며 자신의 감정을 표현한다
여러 번의 '결코(never)'가 영원히 지속되지 않음을 담고 있지만, 사랑이 주는 힘을 느끼게 한다

Well, If I stall at all or hesitate
The world of always never seems to wait
A comedy that could be so divine
Never is a long time
A shadow born to steal the light of day
You woke me up and said, "come on, let’s play"
Well now I know this never has its way
You are, you are, the star I say
From far, from far, from far away
The laws that cause it all to stay
By you, by you, by you, by you, for you, I do
I thought I'd done it all, I thought I knew
But nothing ever looked as clear as you
Now every never that I knew was fine
But never is a long time
Now I share this feeling with my dad
Stolen goods aren't always half that bad
A never that will always
You are, you are, the star I say
From far, from far, from far away
The law that caused it all to stay
By you, by you, by you, by you
