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
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
The song "Everlong" by the Foo Fighters is a love song that expresses a deep connection between two individuals. The lyrics "Hello, I've waited here for you everlong" express the waiting period that someone has been waiting for their love interest to arrive. The song is filled with a feeling of longing and desire for this person, as they acknowledge that they have always been meant to be together. The line "If everything could ever feel this real forever, if anything could ever be this good again" highlights the fact that the singer feels this deep connection with this person and hopes that it lasts forever.
Throughout the song, there are several references to being "Out of the red, out of her head she sang" or "out of your head, out of my head I sang". These lines seem to imply that being out of their own heads, or unconscious of their surroundings, allows them to connect on a deeper level. There is a sense of escape and freedom that comes from being with the person they love, even if it's just for one night.
Overall, "Everlong" is a beautifully written and performed song that captures the essence of true love and connection.

Dad died today.
1:20 am.
A five day battle with brain cancer.
I played this song for hours on a $49 dollar acoustic guitar beside his death bed.
He couldn't talk but I know he could hear.
It was the last song he ever heard,
and it was an honor to play it for you.
I'll miss you forever dad.
Edit: Your comments saved my life. Thank you.

Everlong
Tonight, I throw myself into
And out of the red
Out of her head, she sang
Come down and waste away with me
Down with me

Out of her head, she sang
And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever be 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

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

If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again

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
