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
doot 6x doo-dee doot. repeat.
Come down and waste away with me
Down w ith me
Slow, how you wanted it to be
I’m over my head
Out of her head, she sang
(C# run… A) 3 And I
wonder (C# run…A) 3 When I sing a-
(C# run…) long with you
If everything could ever be 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
Intro
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
(C# run… )
And I wonder
(C# run…)
When I sing along with you
(C# run…)
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
(C# run… no A) 5x And I
wonder
(C# run…no A) 2x When I sing a-
long with you
(C# run…)
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
