Lyrics

Childlike and Evergreen

I seen the big sour apple

I've drank some sweet cherry wine

I’ve slept through too many appointments

With would-be friends of mine

I think I feel just like Ty Cobb

Always on the job

I just can't seem to relax

And that's not good

But if I had it to do all over again

I guess I should have made more friends

Run through, run with me, sister

Childlike and evergreen

When I get up in the morning

I’m gonna change everything

But if I had it to do all over again

I guess I should have made more friends

I swam the salty seas

Childlike and evergreen

Childlike and evergreen
