Everlong
Everlong Embraces Love's Timeless Yearning
Lyrics
Hello
Greeting or introduction
I've waited here for you
Expressing anticipation and waiting for someone
Everlong
Referring to an enduring or timeless state
Tonight, I throw myself into
Symbolic action of commitment or surrender
And out of the red
Transitioning from a challenging situation ("red")
Out of her head, she sang
Reference to someone singing
Come down and waste away with me
Invitation to share a difficult or idle period together
Down with me
Repetition of the invitation with emphasis
Slow, how you wanted it to be
Describing a desire for a slow pace
I'm over my head
Sense of being overwhelmed or deeply involved
Out of her head, she sang
Reiteration of someone singing, possibly in distress
And I wonder
Expressing curiosity or contemplation
When I sing along with you
Sharing a musical experience with someone
If everything could ever be this real forever
Pondering the possibility of enduring authenticity
If anything could ever be this good again
Reflecting on the potential for returning to a positive state
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
Making a commitment or request to someone
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
Requesting commitment from the other person
She sang
Reiteration of someone singing
Breathe out
Inhalation metaphorically linked to connection
So I can breathe you in
Desire to absorb or be close to someone
Hold you in
Expressing a desire to hold or embrace
And now
Transition to realization or understanding
I know you've always been
Acknowledging the other person's state of mind
Out of your head
Reference to being mentally preoccupied
Out of my head, I sang
Reiteration of someone singing, possibly in a mirrored state
And I wonder
Expressing curiosity or contemplation again
When I sing along with you
Repeating the shared musical experience
If everything could ever feel this real forever
Reiterating the desire for enduring authenticity
If anything could ever be this good again
Reflecting on the potential return of a positive state
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
Repetition of commitment or request
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
Reiterating the request for commitment
She sang
Reiteration of someone singing
And I wonder
Expressing curiosity or contemplation once more
If everything could ever feel this real forever
Reiterating the desire for enduring authenticity
If anything could ever be this good again
Reflecting on the potential return of a positive state
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
Repetition of commitment or request
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
Reiterating the request for commitment
