Out on our own
Dreamin' in a world that we both know
Is out of our control
But if shit hits the fan, we're not alone
[Pre-Chorus: Ashe]
'Cause you've got me and you know
That I've got you and I know
[Chorus: Ashe]
If the tide takes California
I'm so glad I got to hold ya
And if the sky falls from Heaven above
Oh, I know I had the best time fallin' into love
We've been livin' on a fault line
And for a while, you were all mine
I've spent a lifetime givin' you my heart
I swear that I'll be yours forever, 'til forever falls apart
'Til forever falls apart
[Verse 2: FINNEAS]
So this is it, that's how it ends
I guess there's nothing more romantic than dyin' with your friends
And I'm not sorry for myself
I wouldn't want to spend a minute lovin' anybody else
'Cause you've got me and you know
That I've got you and I know
[Chorus: Ashe & FINNEAS]
If the tide takes California
I'm so glad I got to hold ya
And if the sky falls from Heaven above
Oh, I know I had the best time fallin' into love
We've been livin' on a fault line
And for a while, you were all mine
I've spent a lifetime givin' you my heart
I swear that I'll be yours forever, 'til forever falls apart
'Til forever falls apart
[Bridge: Ashe & FINNEAS]
We never had it from the start
'Til death do us part
[Chorus: Ashe & FINNEAS]
If the tide takes California
I'm so glad I got to know ya
And if the sky falls from Heaven above
Oh, I know I had the best time fallin' into love
We've been livin' on a fault line
And for a while, you were all mine
I've spent a lifetime givin' you my heart
I swear that I'll be yours forever, 'til forever falls apart
About
“Till Forever Falls Apart” is an eruptive ballad about loving someone through every obstacle, and knowing that your love will never break. Throughout the song, Ashe and FINNEAS use metaphors about the end of the world to paint this picture. Although most contemporary pop writes about love in a romantic context, this song could be viewed in a platonic-friendship perspective, making it stand out from the over-saturated landscape of romantic ballads.
Sonically, the song has a vintage feel, with heavy drums and guitar throughout.
In a livestream counting down the music video’s premiere, Ashe stated that she was inspired by the iconic 1930s dance duo, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, when creating the music video.
FINNEAS and Ashe have previously worked together, most notably on the viral hit “Moral of the Story”, which took off after it’s use in the soundtrack for the Netflix Original movie To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You.

In a post on Instagram, Finneas stated:
Ashe and I have known each other for nearly four years now and it has been such an incredibly fulfilling experience to watch her receive the recognition she is so incredibly deserving of. This song to me, is a love letter to friendship and I think songs like this one are important. Friends are important. Ashe is important. Hope you love it as much as I do. Written by Ashe, Leroy Clampitt and Me, produced by Leroy with a little help from me, mixed by Manny Marroquin, Mastered by John Greenham, Music Video Directed by Samuel Bennet, Choreography by Monika Felice Smith
In a statement for Apple Music’s New Music Daily playlist, Ashe revealed:
It does feel timely considering everything about 2020 and the start to this year. I think it shows off our songwriting styles really nicely and the friendship we’ve cultivated over the last four years. I remember thinking while sitting on the floor writing this song that it was for FINNEAS and I, no doubt. I also remember thinking quarantine was only going to last a few weeks.
