An Evening I Will Not Forget / Furthest Thing
An Evening I Will Not Forget

[Verse 1]
When love was found
I kept my hope just like I'd hoped to
Then sang to the sea for feelings deep blue
Comin' down
And we've had problems that we've grown through
But I bet you dream of what you could do

[Verse 2]
At seventeen I was alright
Was like nothin' I could feel inside
And wishing you were here tonight is like holdin' on
But I still get to see your face, right?
And that's like nothin' they can take, right?
So there won't be no feelin' in the firelight
Hopin' this will be right
Time to show your worth, child

[Verse 3]
I remember when her heart broke over stubborn shit
That's no way to be livin', kid
The angel of death is ruthless
And I'm always thinkin' summertime with the bikes out
Pushing our luck getting wiped out
Days with nothin' but laughin' loud
Underneath my coat, won't you tap my shoulder, hold my hand?
Nights with nothin' but dark in there
You can be my armor then
[Verse 4]
Island smiles and cardigans
The nights that we've been drinkin'
And we're here to help you kill all of this hurt that you've been harborin'
Confessions should be better planned
Alone, that night, I'm surely damned
Run away and I'll understand it
What's important is this evenin' I will not forget
Purple, blue, orange, red
These colors of feelin'
Give me love, I'll put my heart in it
And I think about it all the time
The lights went out, you were fine
You kinda struggle not to shine

[Outro]
I still love you, though
I still love you, though
I still love you always
So hold me when I'm home, keep the evenings long
Crack and break and part ways
I still love you, though
I still love you, though
I still love you always
So hold me when I'm home, keep the evenings long
Let's not crack and break and part ways
And I wonder if I could let her down
Furthest Thing

[Verse 1]
Somewhere between "psychotic" and "iconic"
Somewhere between "I want it" and "I got it"
Somewhere between "I'm sober" and "I'm lifted"
Somewhere between "a mistress" and "commitment"
But I stay down, girl I always stay down, get down, never lay down
Promise to break everybody off before I break down
Everyone just wait now, so much on my plate now
People I believed in, they don't even show they face now
What they got to say now? Nothin' they can say now
Nothin' really changed, but still they look at me a way now
What more can I say now? What more can I say now?
You might feel like nothin' was the same

[Chorus]
And I've still been drinkin' on the low, mobbin' on the low
Fuckin' on the low, smokin' on the low
I've still been plottin' on the low, schemin' on the low
The furthest thing from perfect like everyone I know, yeah

[Verse 2]
And I hate that you don't think I belong to you
Just too busy runnin' this to run home to you
You know that paper my passion
Bittersweet celebrations, I know I can't change what happened
I can't help it, I can't help it, I was young and I was selfish
I made every woman feel like she were mine and no one else's
Now you hate me, stop pretendin', stop frontin', I can't take it
Girl, don't treat me like a stranger, girl, you know I've seen you naked
Girl, you know that I remember, don't be a pretender
Gettin' high at the condo, that's when it all comes together
You know I stay reminiscin' and make-up sex is tradition
But you've been missin', girl
And you might feel like nothin' was the same
[Chorus]
And I've still been drinkin' on the low, mobbin' on the low
Fuckin' on the low, smokin' on the low
I've still been plottin' on the low, schemin' on the low
The furthest thing from perfect
And I wonder if I could let her down

[Outro]
It's for real, it's for real
It's for real, it's for real
