Evergreen (Brownstein, Battat, Bailey, Amarante)

It’s snowing in December while I warm and wait for you

In the Back Bay metro lobby at the age of twenty-two

As you come up from the tunnel, I’m all turned around and tight

We jump on another metro and descend into the night

Oh what a night

I could hardly count the hours ‘til the train rolled on through

But all I measure now is making one turn into two

Thirty-three after the hour, we arrived to wait in line

The early bird digs up the worm, and early fish catches the line

It catches the line

There’s no rudiment to reason in this realm of love

Sometimes you feel something, just because

In the backwoods where we wandered through the morning mist

The dawn had barely broken before you blessed me with a kiss

The day was on fast-forward when I wished I could hit rewind

To the moment that I knew that your heart was one with mine

Oh what a time

There’s no rudiment to reason in this realm of love

Sometimes you feel something, just because

You’re caught up in a feeling

The reason for your being

You and I are just enough

In this realm of love

In this realm of love

I wish I could hold on to those simple memories

With you, I feel like the better parts of me

For so long, I thought of us as an evergreen

But as these leaves fall down I see

Yet, these feelings I can’t free

These feelings I can’t free

This past train home hit different, I knew I was feeling strange

Thinking of our last time on the metro and how everything has changed

I look out from the window, I see the tree I thought we were

The times just blend together and it all becomes a blur

Oh I miss her

Is there rudiment to reason in this realm of love?

Sometimes you feel something just because

I was caught up in a feeling

The reason for my being

You and I were just enough

In this realm of love

In this realm of love

In this realm of love
