evermore

[Verse 1: Taylor Swift]

Gray November

I've been down since July

Motion capture

Put me in a bad light

I replay my footsteps on each stepping stone

Trying to find the one where I went wrong

Writing letters

Addressed to the fire

[Chorus: Taylor Swift]

And I was catchin' my breath

Starin' out an open window, catchin' my death

And I couldn't be sure

I had a feeling so peculiar

That this pain would be for

Evermore

[Verse 2: Taylor Swift]

Hey, December

Guess I'm feeling unmoored

Can't remember

What I used to fight for

I rewind thе tape, but all it does is pause

On thе very moment all was lost

Sending signals

To be double-crossed

[Chorus: Taylor Swift]

And I was catchin' my breath

Barefoot in the wildest winter, catchin' my death

And I couldn't be sure

I had a feeling so peculiar

That this pain would be for

Evermore

[Post-Chorus: Justin Vernon]

(Evermore)

[Bridge: Justin Vernon, Taylor Swift]

Can't not think of all the cost

And the things that will be lost

Oh, can we just get a pause?

To be certain we'll be tall again

Whether weather be the frost

Or the violence of the dog days

I'm on waves, out being tossed

Is there a line that I could just go cross?

And when I was shipwrecked (Can't think of all the cost now)

I thought of you (All the things that will be lost now)

In the cracks of light (Can we just get a pause?)

I dreamed of you (To be certain we'll be tall again)

(If you think of all the cost)

It was real enough (Whether weather be the frost)

To get me through (Or the violence of the dog days)

(Or the violence of the dog days)

(Out on waves, being tossed)

(I'm on waves, out being tossed)

But I swear (Is there a line that we can just go cross?)

You were there

[Chorus: Taylor Swift & Justin Vernon]

And I was catchin' my breath

Floors of a cabin creakin' under my step

And I couldn't be sure

I had a feeling so peculiar

This pain wouldn't be for

Evermore

[Outro: Taylor Swift, Justin Vernon, Both]

Evermore (Evermore)

Evermore (Evermore)

This pain wouldn't be for evermore

Evermore
