Everlong
Dark One Lite Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've waited here for you
Everlong
Tonight I throw myself in two
Out of the red
Out of her head she sang
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 can breathe you in
Hold you in
And now
I know you've always been
Out of your head
Out of my head I sang

The character wants to be with the person they love, even if it means losing themselves in the process.
