Lyrics
Evergreen
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We're in the rain, in outer space
And I can't fathom an explanation
For what we're doing in this place
Now your hair clings to your cheek
I brush it aside ever so gently
Thank you for being here for me
It's not easy staying clean, wouldn't it be nice to be evergreen
It feels like I'm slipping behind a screen of nighlights
And suicidal tendencies
It's not easy feeling cold
Like burning numb hands under a water stream
Wouldn't it be nice to be evergreen
We're in the snow, under the milky way
And no matter how hard I try to, I can't possibly explain
My shaking hands and by breaking bones
There's nothing like whispers in your mind
To keep you aware that you're alone
It's not easy staying clean, wouldn't it be nice to be evergreen
It feels like I'm slipping behind a screen of nighlights
And suicidal tendencies
It's not easy feeling cold
Like burning numb hands under a water stream
Wouldn't it be nice to be evergreen
Wouldn't it be nice to be
In moments like this it's hard to breathe steadily
The world is spinning and my hands shake uncontrollably
Life's a hair, one gentle blow and it could be gone
And I've never felt so afraid
We're on the earth, on solid ground
Do you have any idea how lucky you are to be around
You're not alone, please never forget
My arms are your second home
