Everlasting... Lyrics

Ghosts, they haunt me on my way home

They're scattered, crystallized in snow

On emerald evergreen trees

Last December's snow, it built a carnival

Appeased our inner hopes

Thought the world would respond to our pleas

Had that been true then I wouldn't be stuck

Replaying memories of you

What can I do when auroras of winter

Recount my last words of ice-cold blue

You said we gave up too soon

But I knew we weren't everlasting

Because fate doesn't owe us

I knew we weren't everlasting

Based on all our time had shown us

I knew we weren't everlasting

Just time that's passing

But why weren't we ever asking

If us ever lasting was doomed from the start

Cinematically so subpar

Complaining in your red car

Outside was a wonderland

We took that snow-globe of our winter

Held it in cold fingers

Felt it crack suddenly in our hands

Then we knew the snow we made angels in

Would melt away soon

What can we do when auroras of winter

Recount our last words of ice-cold blue

That's why we gave up so soon

We knew we weren't everlasting

Because fate doesn't owe us

We knew we weren't everlasting

Based on all our time had shown us

We knew we weren't everlasting

Just time that's passing

But why weren't we ever asking

If us ever lasting was doomed from the start

It's hard, wish I prepared from the start

Incandescent lights, they used to glow like magic

It's gone dark, town square where our story starts

You said loving me was your worst habit

We said we weren't everlasting

Because fate doesn't owe us

But why weren't we ever asking

Why fate should have controlled us

We knew we weren't everlasting

Just time worth passing

The chance of us ever lasting

Ever ever lasting

Was doomed from the start

Like snowfall, it shimmers 'til the pavement starts

Just like snowfall, we shimmered through December

Like snowfall, we shimmered together but we had to part
