"Everlasting" lyrics

They had faith more than anyone I know
And not even they could do it
I get scared that we'll end up like them
I get scared that we'll end up like them
They were stronger than we could ever know
And not even they can make it
Past the deep over every pavement

I get scared that we'll end up like them
And now we're looking forward in silence
The truth is that I don't know if I can
Or believe in the everlasting
Sure, I want to and I'll keep wishing
And crossing every part of my fingers
But who am I to think that I'm different
Or ever live in the everlasting

I've seen pictures from decades ago
Where everything seemed so unbroken
All their hopes and their dreams were before them
God, I wonder what came and destroyed them
Maybe one day you'll ask me
Do I think about us when we're older
If I choke on my words, don't be hurt 'cause

I get scared that we'll end up like them
And now we're looking forward in silence
The truth is that I don't know if I can
Or believe in the everlasting
Sure, I want to and I'll keep wishing
And crossing every part of my fingers
But who am I to think that I'm different
Or ever live in the everlasting?

So hold me close, don't leave tonight, don't leave

I'll keep wishing
And crossing every part of my fingers
But who am I to think that I'm different
Or ever live in the everlasting?
