Forever Everette

(albüm: Waysides - 2021)

Oh, how I wish that I could just lie to myself
No cards have been played and no cards have been dealt
Convince myself nothing is here, there's nothing to fret
'Cause you leave me out here in the cold, Everette

And if you want
To try me again
I'll be out my door for some time
'Cause I can't wait my whole life

I can't be sure if I'll ever pay my debt
You can't be sure what they say behind your back
They say you're too slow for holding off a breath
And so they call you Forever Everette

And if you want
To try me again
I'll be out my door for some time
'Cause I can't wait

How do you shoot those arrows off your tongue?
Why would you let the hate get in your lungs?
Why would you aim at me?

Gaming and trading my heart for a bigger defeat
Give it all up for your place at a better seat
You have to protect the side of you that made this bet
But what about the other side of you, Everette?
But what about the other side of you, Everette?
