Cavetown - Evergreen lyrics

[Verse 1] We're in the rain, in outer space And I can't fathom an explanation for what we're doing in this place Now your hair clings to your cheek I brush it aside ever so gently, thank you for being here for me [Chorus] It's not easy staying clean, wouldn't it be nice to be evergreen It feels like I'm slipping behind a screen of nigh lights and suicidal tendencies It's not easy feeling cold like burning numb hands under a water stream Wouldn't it be nice to be evergreen [Verse 3] We're in the snow, under the milky way And no matter how hard I try to, I can't possibly explain My shaking hands and by breaking bones There's nothing like whispers in your mind to keep you aware that you're alone [Chorus] It's not easy staying clean, wouldn't it be nice to be evergreen It feels like I'm slipping behind a screen of nigh lights and suicidal tendencies It's not easy feeling cold like burning numb hands under a water stream Wouldn't it be nice to be evergreen, wouldn't it be nice to be [Verse 5] In moments like this it's hard to breathe steadily The world is spinning and my hands shake uncontrollably Life's a hair, one gentle blow and it could be gone And I've never felt so afraid [Verse 6] We're on the earth, on solid ground Do you have any idea how lucky you are to be around You're not alone, please never forget My arms are your second home
