Evangeline (Live)

Dude: you ready?

Kef: yeah yeah

Dude: alright, we're rollin'

Kef: if you show me something precious,
I will show you someone blue,
And we'll calculate what drives me straight to you

The fascination kindled like a spark becomes a flame,
And then the fire thickens,
And my heart quickens,
Every measure i hear your name

Evangeline
Evangeline
Well can you feature an adorable creature
More appealing than this world has ever seen?
Evangeline
Evangeline
Her face made equal to the minature features
Of a hand-made porcelain figurine

Dude: did you just say 'porcelain figurine?'

Kef: well, yeah. there's only a handful of words you can rhyme with- y'know what? just don't worry about it.

Dude: right.

Kef: if i ever fall abandoned on a desert made in blue,
I would only wish to spend each day with you
Essential artless charm from which impossible to wean
It only amplifies those lips those eyes and every freckle that's in between

Evangeline
Evangeline
Far more beauty in a single view than on the pages of a fashion magazine
Evangeline
Evangeline
Can you feature an adorable creature more appealing than this world has ever seen?

Evangeline
And you know i'd never forget you
Until i have you in my arms

Dude: uh dude, she's gonna think you're a stalker...

Kef: i'm trying to do a solo here

Dude: yeah but i mean, you should think about how this is gonna be perceived because i mean, it's a little... crazy you know?

I recognize and risk absurdity to call your name this way
But i fear there might not be another way
Effortless sparkle shines around the angel in your name,
And if i never laid my eyes on you i know i wouldn't be the same

Evangeline
Evangeline
Far more beauty in a single view than on the pages of a fashion magazine
Evangeline
Evangeline
To spend an hour in the grip of your power could make any other moment feel a little routine
Evangeline
Evangeline
If i imagine any kind of beauty pageant you are making all adjacent competition look obscene
Evangeline
Evangeline
How could i ever fabricate another woman as my lover there's no other one i'd rather here to be
Evangeline
