Aaron Dessner - Evermore Peter Lyrics

[Part I: evermore]

[Verse]
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 catchin' my breath
Starin' out an open window, catchin' my death
And I couldn't be sure
I had a feeling so peculiar
That this pain would be for
Evermore

[Part II: Peter]

[Verse]
Forgive me, Peter
My lost fearless leader
In closets like cedar
Preserved from when we were just kids
Was it somethin' I did?
The goddess of timing
Once found us beguiling
She said she was trying
Peter, was she lying?
My ribs get the feeling she did
[Pre-Chorus]
And I didn't wanna come down
I thought it was just goodbye for now

[Chorus]
You said you were gonna grow up
Then you were gonna come find me
Said you were gonna grow up
Then you were gonna come find me
Said you were gonna grow up
Then you were gonna come find me
Words from the mouths of babes
Promises oceans-deep
But never to keep
Never to keep

[Bridge]
And I won't confess that I waited, but I let the lamp burn
As the men masqueraded, I hoped you'd return
With your feet on the ground, tell me all that you'd learned
'Cause love's never lost when perspective is earned
And you said you'd come and get me, but you were twenty-five
And the shelf life of those fantasies has expired
Lost to the "Lost Boys" chapter of your life
Forgive me, Peter, please know that I tried
To hold on, to the days
When you were mine
The woman who sits by the window
Has turned out the light
[Part III: evermore/Peter]

[Chorus]
And I was catchin' my breath
Floors of a cabin creakin' under my step
And I couldn't be sure
I had a feeling so peculiar
This pain wouldn't be for
Evermore

[Refrain]
Wouldn't be forevermore
Wouldn't be forevermore
Forgive me, Peter
But this pain wouldn't be forevermore

[Part IV: evermore]

[Outro]
And when I was shipwrecked
I thought of you
In the cracks of light
I dreamed of you
It was real enough
To get me through
But I swear, you were there
