[An Evening I Will Not Forget]

When love was found
I kept my hope just like I'd hoped to
Then sang to the sea for feelings deep blue
And coming down
We've had problems that we've grown through
But I bet you dream of what you could do
At seventeen I was alright
Was like nothing I could feel inside
And wishing you were here tonight
Is like holding on
But I still get to see your face, right?
And that's like nothing they can take, right?
So there won't be no feeling in the firelight
Hoping this will be right
Time to show your worth, child
I remember when her heart broke over stubborn shit
That's no way to be living kid
The angel of death is ruthless
And I'm always thinking summertime with the bikes out
Pushing our luck getting wiped out
Days with nothing but laughing loud
Underneath my coat won't you tap my shoulder, hold my hand
Nights with nothing but dark in there
You can be my armor then
Island smiles and cardigans
The nights that we've been drinking in
We're here to help you kill all of this hurt that you've been harboring
Confessions should be better planned
Alone, that night, I'm surely damned
Run away. I'll understand
What's important is this evening I will not forget
Purple, blue, orange, red
These colors of feeling, give me love, I'll put my heart in it
I think about it all the time
The lights went out, you were fine
You kinda struggle not to shine
I still love you though
I still love you though
I still love you always
So hold me when I'm home, keep the evenings long
Crack and break and part ways
I still love you though
I still love you though
I still love you always
So hold me when I'm home, keep the evenings long
Let's not crack and break and part ways
And I wonder if I could let her down

[Furthest Thing]

Somewhere between psychotic and iconic
Somewhere between "I want it" and "I got it"
Somewhere between I'm sober and I'm lifted
Somewhere between a mistress and commitment

But I stay down, girl, I always stay down
Get down, never lay down
Promise to break everybody off before I break down
Everyone just wait now
So much on my plate now
People I believed in: they don't even show their face now

What they got to say now?
Nothing they can say now
Nothing really changed but still they look at me a way now
What more can I say now?
What more can I say now?
You might feel like nothing was the same
I still been drinking on the low
Mobbing on the low
Fucking on the low
Smoking on the low
I still been plotting on the low
Scheming on the low
The furthest thing from perfect like everyone I know

And I hate that you don't think I belong to you
Just too busy running shit to run home to you
You know that paper my passion
Bittersweet celebrations
I know I can't change what happened

I can't help it
I can't help it
I was young and I was selfish
I made every woman feel like she was mine and no one else's
Now you hate me
Stop pretending, stop that fronting
I can't take it
Girl, don't treat me like a stranger
Girl, you know I've seen you naked
Girl, you know that I remember
Don't be a pretender
Getting high at the condo
That's when it all comes together
You know I stay reminiscing
And make-up sex is tradition
But you've been missing, girl
And you might feel like nothing was the same
But I still been drinking on the low
Mobbing on the low
Fucking on the low
Smoking on the low
I still been plotting on the low
Scheming on the low
The furthest thing from perfect
And I wonder if I can let it down

It's for real, it's for real
It's for real, it's for real
