Clarkesville - Evergreen lyrics

rate me

The conversation's rising above me<br />

The situation's sizing me up<br />

My many flaws used to go unseen<br />

Now my limitations are evergreen.<br />

I close my eyes for fear that the light will blind me<br />

I seal my lips for fear of whom I'll betray<br />

I turn my head for fear that my face will be seen<br />

For my motivations are evergreen.<br />

Evergreen,<br />

And weak at the seams,<br />

Autographed dreams<br />

I know where they've been <br />

Evergreen,<br />

But who knows the way for me?<br />

And you can read me like a front-page story<br />

Sometimes coloured though often black and white<br />

Flick right through me or leave me on the stand<br />

Or you can rip me up with your bear hands.<br />

Evergreen,<br />

And weak at the seams,<br />

Autographed dreams<br />

I know where they've been <br />

Evergreen,<br />

And you deserve better than me.<br />

Evergreen,<br />

And weak at the seams,<br />

Everyone's pin-up<br />

I know what that means,<br />

Evergreen,<br />

But who knows the way for me?
