"Evergreen" lyrics

Started both our hands were in the dirt
We made a plan to plant the seeds, believed that they were good
The sun would set, and days rolled into nights
But some things, they might never grow
Some fires, they won't light

I wanna know why
Evergreen turns to gray
Out of season, out of date

Don't turn the lights off, don't turn around
Don't go leaving
'Cause I need you now more than ever
More than ever
Stay together
More than ever
Even if I know it'll never be evergreen

Autumn leaves and winter comes a-calling
I wish that we could be just like the snow and still be falling
Growing up enough could take a lifetime
So give me one last look at all of us inside your eyes

I wanna know why
Evergreen turns to gray
Out of season, out of date

Don't turn the lights off, don't turn around
Don't go leaving
'Cause I need you now more than ever
More than ever
Stay together
More than ever
Even if I know it'll never be evergreen
