Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Gray November
I've been down since July
Motion capture
Put me in a bad light
I replay my footsteps on each stepping stone
Trying to find the one where I went wrong
Writing letters
Addressed to the fire
[Chorus]
And I was catching my breath
Staring out an open window
Catching my death
And I couldn't be sure
I had a feeling so peculiar
That this pain would be for
Evermore
[Verse 2]
Hey December
Guess I'm feeling unmoored
Can't remember
What I used to fight for
I rewind the tape but all it does is pause
On the very moment all was lost
Sending signals
To be double crossed
[Chorus]
And I was catching my breath
Barefoot in the wildest winter
Catching my death
And I couldn't be sure
I had a feeling so peculiar
That this pain would be for
Evermore (Evermore)
[Bridge]
Can't not think of all the cost
And the things that will be lost
Oh, can we just get a pause?
To be certain we'll be tall again
Whether weather be the frost
Or the violence of the dog days
I'm on waves, out being tossed
Is there a line that I could just go cross?
[Bridge]
And when I was shipwrecked
Can't think of all the cost now
I thought of you
All the things that will be lost now
In the cracks of light
Can we just get a pause?
I dreamed of you
To be certain we'll be tall again
If we think of all the costs
And it was real enough
Whether weather be the frost
To get me through (Or the violence of the dog days)
Or the violence of the dog days
Out on waves being tossed (Out on waves, I'm being tossed)
I swear
Is there a line that we can just go cross?
You were there
[Chorus]
And I was catching my breath
Floors of a cabin creaking under my step
And I couldn't be sure
I had a feeling so peculiar
This pain wouldn't be for
Evermore
[Outro]
Evermore (Evermore)
Evermore
This pain wouldn't be for evermore
Evermore
