Christian French Evergreen
[Verse 1]
Off and on since 17
Still got the grass stains on my jeans
From when we'd meet up at the park under the trees watching the stars
Swore you were all I'd ever need
We stole your brother's Mary Jane
'Cause life was just all fun and games
And though the years have come to pass
The memories they'll always last
Just like the leaves of evergreens
[Chorus]
It seems like yesterday we were parked in my drivеway
Giving up and parting ways
I wish I stayed, had to leave
And I know it sounds clichе but you're the one that got away
You'll always be, my evergreen
My evergreen
[Verse 2]
It's been 5 years since we last spoke
It's crazy how the time has flown
Now you're a teacher back at home & I'm on tour playing shows
Somehow I've always kept you close
[Chorus]
It seems like yesterday we were parked in my driveway
Giving up and parting ways
I wish I stayed, had to leave
And I know it sounds cliche but you're the one that got away
You'll always be, my evergreen
My evergreen
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Maybe somewhere down the road
And we're washed up, grey and old
We could meet up at that park, under that tree, and watch the stars
Pick up the pieces that we broke
Till then I'm counting down the weeks
Before the next time that we meet
And even though you might forget and maybe wish we never met
Just know you'll always be
My evergreen
