Cavetown - Evergreen lyrics

We're in the rain, in outer space
And I can't fathom an explanation for
What we're doing in this place
Now your hair clings to your cheek
I brush it aside ever so gently
Thank you for being here for me

It's not easy staying clean
Wouldn't it be nice to be evergreen
It feels like I'm slipping behind a
Screen of nightlights and suicidal tendencies
It's not easy feeling cold like burning
Numb hands under a water stream
Wouldn't it be nice to be evergreen

We're in the snow, under the milky way
And no matter how hard I try to
I can't possibly explain
My shaking hands and my breaking bones
There's nothing like whispers in
Your mind to
Keep you aware that you're alone

It's not easy staying clean
Wouldn't it be nice to be evergreen
It feels like I'm slipping behind a
Screen of nighlights and suicidal tendencies
It's not easy feeling cold like burning
Numb hands under a water stream
Wouldn't it be nice to be evergreen

In moments like this it's
Hard to breathe steadily
The world is spinning and
My hands shake uncontrollably
Life's a hair
One gentle blow and it could be gone
And I've never felt so afraid

We're on the earth, on solid ground
Do you have any idea how lucky
You are to be around
You're not alone, please never forget
My arms are your second home
