evergreen

Off and on since 17
Still got the grass stains on my jeans
From when we'd meet up at the park
Under the trees, watchin' the stars
Swore you were all I'd ever need

We stole your brother's Mary Jane
'Cause life was just all fun and games
And though the years have come to pass
The memories, they'll always last
Just like the leaves of evergreens

It seems like yesterday, we were parked in my driveway
Givin' up and partin' ways, I wish I stayed, had to leave
And I know it sounds cliché, but you're the one that got away
You'll always be my evergreen
My evergreen

It's been five years since we last spoke
It's crazy how the time has flown
Now you're a teacher back at home
And I'm on tour, I play the shows
Somehow I've always kept you close

It seems like yesterday, we were parked in my driveway
Givin' up and partin' ways, I wish I stayed, had to leave
And I know it sounds cliché, but you're the one that got away
You'll always be my evergreen
My evergreen

Maybe somewhere down the road
When we're washed up, gray and old
We could meet up at that park
Under that tree and watch the stars
Pick up the pieces that we brought

'Til then, I'm countin' down the weeks
Before the next time that we meet
And even though you might forget
And maybe wish we'd never met
Just know you'll always be my evergreen
