Everlasting

They had faith more than anyone I know
And not even they could do it
I get scared that we'll end up like them
I get scared that we'll end up like them

They were stronger than we could ever know
And not even they could make it
Past the deep over every pavement

I get scared that we'll end up like them
And now we're looking forward in silence
The truth is that I don't know if
I can or believe in the everlasting

Sure, I want to, and I'll keep wishing
And crushing every part of my fingers
But who am I to think that I'm different?
Or ever live in the everlasting?

Yesterday was the full moon's birthday
Just fall asleep in my arms

I've seen pictures from decades ago
Where everything seemed so unbroken
All their hopes and their dreams were before them
God, I wonder what came and destroyed them

Maybe one day you'll ask me
Do I think about us when we're older
And if I choke on the words, don't be hurt 'cause

I get scared that we'll end up like them
And now we're looking forward in silence
The truth is that I don't know if
I can or believe in the everlasting

Sure, I want to, and I'll keep wishing
And crushing every part of my fingers
But who am I to think that I'm different?
Or ever live in the everlasting?

So, hold me close
Don't leave tonight, don't

Ah-ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Ooh, don't leave
Don't leave tonight

And I'll keep wishing
And crushing every part of my fingers
But who am I to think that I'm different?
Or to live in the everlasting?
