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
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 gotta promise not to stop
when I say when she sang
Breathe out So I can breathe you in
Hold you in And now
I know you’ve always been Out of your head
Out of my head I sang
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 gotta promise not to stop
when I say when she sang
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.
And I wonder
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
