"Evergreen" BY kade miller

LYRICS

 

Beautiful faces

Frozen in smile

In the picture I’ll think of

Too long of a while

A broken watch

Doesn’t mean moments slow

Something you learned as a kid

But tried to outgrow


I think forever comes after eighteen

Keep the house dirty, it never gets clean

The ongoing offer of cheap nicotine

Why do songwriters love the evergreen


One after the other

Until there were none

Each one follows his brother

And walks in the light of the sun

A worn-out shirt

Shows the scars underneath

From a fateful, memorable Halloween


I think forever comes after eighteen

The innocent kiss under glow of a vending machine

The rise of the rates of dreaded gasoline

Why do songwriters love

The rust and the wear of dying machines

The tart taste of orange and sweet tangerines

An easy addiction to dreams on morphine

No wonder songwriters love the ease of

The Evergreen
