always need a little extra
keep it hidden till you hit the rails

i could never satisfy it
everything i do makes it cry
don't know why

but i will be evergreen i will be evergreen i will be


one by one the list gets longer
one by one they come to take me home
but they turn to stone


and when they clear cut my whole family
when they pull up roots as old as mine
they pay no mind what's left behind


and i will be evergreen i will be evergreen
i will be evergreen


and if it seems there's no end
to the rush in your head
take my bed
to it instead
all things must end
and i will bend
all things must end


all things dull and ugly must end
all things stupid that you defend die
and so will i
and I will be evergreen i will be evergreen i will be evergreen
all things must end
