Evergreen Lyrics

There are pictures in the ashtray

There are dead leaves in the driveway

And what more can I say

But things have been better on the couches

On the couches trapped in plastic

Lemon yellow, speedball frantic

And the TV's trapped in static

I told you I was no quitter

And oh, evergreen

What does it mean to have been so erratic

And oh, in between

How does it seem to stay so pale and tragic

But it doesn't really matter in the end

Let's pretend

Let's pretend

Let's pretend

Let's pretend

Too much shine, not enough glitter

Pull no punches, you heavy hitter

Must confess I'm getting bitter

When I think of what might have been

When we lose, you always find me

And I used to know a kind me

I wish I could just rewind me

To the time before this nameless sin

And oh, evergreen

What does it mean to have been so substandard

And oh, in between

How does it seem to have your will so slandered

But it doesn't really matter in the end

Let's pretend

Let's pretend

Let's pretend

Let's pretend

And oh, evergreen

What did you mean when you said I was clever

And oh, in between

How can it seem like always but mean never

And oh, evergreen

Well, it's a bitch that life has ways of lying

And oh, in between

It's just the facts that find new ways of flying

But it doesn't really matter in the end

Let's pretend

Let's pretend

Let's pretend

Let's pretend

Let's pretend

Let's pretend

Let's pretend

Let's pretend

But it doesn't really matter in the end
