  • Gray November
    I've been down since July
    Motion capture
    Put me in a bad light

    I replay my footsteps on each stepping stone
    Trying to find the one where I went wrong
    Writing letters
    Addressed to the fire

    And I was catching my breath
    Staring out an open window
    Catching my death
    And I couldn't be sure
    I had a feeling so peculiar
    That this pain would be for
    Evermore

    Hey December
    Guess I'm feeling unmoored
    Can't remember
    What I used to fight for

    I rewind the tape but all it does is pause
    On the very moment all was lost
    Sending signals
    To be double crossed

    And I was catching my breath
    Barefoot in the wildest winter
    Catching my death
    And I couldn't be sure
    I had a feeling so peculiar
    That this pain would be for
    Evermore
    (Evermore)

    Can't not think of all the cost
    And the things that will be lost
    Oh, can we just get a pause?
    To be certain we'll be tall again
    Whether weather be the frost
    Or the violence of the dog days
    I'm on waves, out being tossed
    Is there a line that I could just go cross?

    And when I was shipwrecked (can't think of all the cost)
    I thought of you (all the things that will be lost now)
    In the cracks of light (can we just get a pause?)
    I dreamed of you (to be certain we'll be tall again)
    (If you think of all the costs)
    It was real enough (whether weather be the frost)
    To get me through (or the violence of the dog days)
    (Out on waves being tossed)
    But I swear (is there a line that we could just go cross?)
    You were there

    And I was catching my breath
    Floors of a cabin creaking under my step
    And I couldn't be sure
    I had a feeling so peculiar
    This pain wouldn't be for
    Evermore
    Evermore (evermore)
    Evermore
    This pain wouldn't be for evermore (evermore)
