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?
