Evergreen

If I turn back now, would you understand
That I'm a winding path, an idle hand?
If I disappeared, could you just forget
That I'm an empty page, a silhouette?

Have I lost the plot of everything?
Thrown the punch, half-speed swing?

I want to recognize this world for all it could become
I want to see all of the parts as more than just their sum
I want to know all of your love, and all that it could be
An infinite blue and evergreen, oh

But do you think about the years that pass?
I can't look away, darling, they happened so fast
But am I destined, now, to fade away?
To lose myself in palest grey?

Have I lost the plot of everything?
Thrown the punch, half-speed swing?
Did I take a breath and waste it all?
Pull the cord before the fall?

I want to recognize this world for all it could become
I want to see all of the parts as more than just their sum
I want to know all of your love, and all that it could be
An infinite blue and evergreen, oh

'Cause for a moment, I could see the future
When I looked right in your eyes
Now it's all that I can think about
And every time I turn away
I miss it and, darling, I just can't run anymore

I want to recognize this world for all it could become
I want to see all of the parts as more than just their sum
I want to know all of your love, and all that it could be
An infinite blue and evergreen
