evergreen

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, watchin' 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 It seems like yesterday, we were parked in my driveway Givin' up and partin' ways, I wish I stayed, had to leave And I know it sounds cliché, but you're the one that got away You'll always be my evergreen My evergreen It's been five years since we last spoke It's crazy how the time has flown Now you're a teacher back at home And I'm on tour, I play the shows Somehow I've always kept you close It seems like yesterday, we were parked in my driveway Givin' up and partin' ways, I wish I stayed, had to leave And I know it sounds cliché, but you're the one that got away You'll always be my evergreen My evergreen Maybe somewhere down the road When we're washed up, gray and old We could meet up at that park Under that tree and watch the stars Pick up the pieces that we brought 'Til then, I'm countin' down the weeks Before the next time that we meet And even though you might forget And maybe wish we'd never met Just know you'll always be my evergreen
