Everlong - Dave Grohl, Constance Hauman

Hello

I’ve waited here for 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

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

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 gotta promise not to stop when I say when she sang

And they were really heavy boots and I used to say, «Dad, come on, please.»

And like start crying, 'cause they’re too heavy.

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
