Everlong
Christina Marie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've waited here for you
Everlong
Tonight
I throw myself into
And out of the red, out of her head she sang
And waste away with me
Down with me
Slow how
You wanted it to be
I'm over my head, out of her head she sang
And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang
Breathe out
So I could breathe you in
Hold you in
And now
I know you've always been
Out of your head, out of my head I sang
And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang
And I wonder
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang
In Christina Marie's version of "Everlong," she croons the opening lines "Hello, I've waited here for you / Everlong." These lyrics embody the feeling of longing for someone, waiting patiently for them to arrive or even return. The repetition of "Everlong" emphasizes that this feeling of longing has been going on for quite some time -- perhaps even forever.
The chorus of the song is where the emotional weight of the lyrics truly come through. Christina sings "And I wonder / When I sing along with you / If everything could ever feel this real forever / If anything could ever be this good again." These lines suggest that the singer has found a kindred spirit in the person she is singing to, and that their connection is so strong that it feels almost otherworldly. This lyric is especially powerful when considering that Christina is singing a cover of the Foo Fighters' original song, which has a more upbeat, rock-inspired sound. In her version, the slowed-down tempo and her haunting vocals lend a more introspective and melancholy tone to the lyrics.
Overall, Christina Marie's version of "Everlong" is a stunning representation of the original song, with a unique twist that brings out the true meaning behind the song. The lyrics suggest an intense connection between the two people singing together, and the longing for eternal happiness that comes with it. It is a beautiful testament to the power of music in expressing emotions and connecting people to one another.

2022 and she’s still the best voice to be on any of the voice franchises

Usually when someone changes up a cover it's an indie singer slowing the song down and removing high notes. This is a complete re envisioning of an iconic song that holds up to the original because it's so different but technically done perfect

The world is cruel and unfair. I have been an avid fan of the voice worldwide and only came across this performance yesterday. As a singer and someone who is highly critical of other musicians when they miss the mark, this is hands down the best Voice performance in history. Actually it may be one of the best performances I’ve ever seen. Her vocals, power and dynamics are so underrated. She deserves so much success.
