Everlong lyrics

Hello

I've waited here for you

Everlong

Tonight

I throw myself into

And out of the red, out of her head she sang

Come down

And waste away with me

Down with me

Slow how

You wanted it to be

I'm over my head, out of her head she sang

(Chorus:)

And I wonder

When I sing along with you

If everything could ever feel this real forever

If anything could ever be this good again

The only thing I'll ever ask of you

You've got to promise not to stop when I say when

She sang

Breathe out

So I could breathe you in

Hold you in

And now

I know you've always been

Out of your head, out of my head I sang

(Chorus)

The only thing I'll ever ask of you

You've got to promise not to stop when I say when

She sang

And I wonder

If everything could ever feel this real forever

If anything could ever be this good again

So, Dad would take the Sundays off.

And that's the only time he could ever get any rest.

And so, because we were loud on Sundays, he'd make us hold his construction boots over our head, 'til we'd sleep.

And they were really heavy boots and I used to say, "Dad, come on, please."

And like start crying, 'cause they're too heavy.

The only thing I'll ever ask of you

You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
