Wye Oak - Evergreen lyrics

Picked you out dropped you off
Brought you in our house
Dressed you up took photographs
Stood around with open mouths

Starved you of your water
Till the needles piled around sweeping up
The needle dust by the light of the TV
The humor of the metaphor
Isn't lost on me

All the water in the world
And I can't force myself to want a drink

Tell me what’s missing in my mind
I fear the problem is essential its memory
Is blackening my mind
I'm taking everything back evergreen

Twist the rag spray the glass
Swirl the wet around we do our
Best thinking while
We're working in this house
All the world is always staining
I can't settle till it's out

Tell me what’s missing in my mind
I fear the problem is essential its memory
Is blackening my mind
I'm taking everything back evergreen

Tell me what is written in your eyes
I fear the problem is essential my enemy
Is keeping me alive
I'm taking everything back evergreen
Evergreen evergreen
Evergreen
