(Verse I)
Hello,
I've Waited Here For You,
Everlong.

Tonight,
I've Thrown Myself Into,
& Out Of The Red,
Out Of Her Head She Sang.

Come Down,
& Waste Away With Me,
Down With Me.

Slow How,
You Wanted It To Be,
I'm Over My Head,
Out Of Her Head She Sang.

(Chorus)
& I Wonder,
When I Sing Along With You,
If Everything Could Ever Feel This Real Forever.

If Anything Could Be This Good Again,
Only thing I'll Ever Ask Of You.

You Gotta Promise Not To Stop When I Say When,
She Sang.

(Verse II)
Breathe Out,
So I Can Beathe You In,
Hold You In,

& Now,
I Know You've Always Been,
Out Of Your Head,
Out Of My Head I Sang.

(Chorus)
& I Wonder,
When I Sing Along With You,
If Everything Could Ever Feel This Real Forever.

If Anything Could Be This Good Again,
Only Thing I'll Ever Ask Of You.

You Gotta Promise Not To Stop When I Say When,
She Sang.

(Bridge)

(Chorus)
& I Wonder,
When I Sing Along With You,

Everything Could Ever Feel This Good Forever,
If Anything Could Ever Be This Good Again,

Only Thing I'll Ever Ask Of You
You Gotta Promise Not To Stop When I Say When.]

Hello,  I've waited here for you...  Everlong.
Tonight, I've thrown myself into,
And out of the red, out of her head she sang.

Come down and waste away with me, down with me...
Slow how, you wanted it to be,
I'm over my head, out of her head she sang.

And I wonder when I sing along with you,
If everything could ever feel this real forever.
If anything could ever be this good again,
The only thing I'll ever ask of you.
You gotta promise not to stop when I say when.
She sang.

Breathe out, so I can breathe you in,
Hold you in, and now, I know you've always been 
Out of your head, out of my head I sang.

And I wonder when I sing along with you,
If everything could ever feel this real forever,
If anything could ever be this good again.
The only thing I'll ever ask of you,
You gotta promise not to stop when I say when.
She sang.

And I wonder, 
If everything could ever feel this real forever,
If anything could ever be this good again.
The only thing I'll ever ask of you,
You gotta promise not to stop when I say when.

which is it? -Zerodaj

Hello
I've waited here for you
Everlong

Tonight
I throw myself into
And out of the red, out of her head she sang

Come down
And waste away with me
Down with me

Slow how
You wanted it to be
I'm over my head, out of her head she sang

And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again

The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang

Breathe out
So I could breathe you in
Hold you in

And now
I know you've always been
Out of your head, out of my head I sang

And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again

The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang

And I wonder
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again

The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang

1 posts	This song needs some serious worshipping! Personally I think the acoustic version is the best!! When it hit my speakers, I'm in heaven.. Along with this, you should give Walking After You (Acoustic) a try! It rocks 2! __________________________ The Bear to rule them others..

2 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I am inlove with the Foo Fighters. Dave Grohl has been such a big turn on ever since he drummed in Nirvana(RIP kurt) and Everlong is the centerpiece beauty of the foo fighters. It is the one song which everyone hopes they can relate to atleast once in their life, the kind of love that feels so real that you wish it would be eternal, ever long. I think the lyrics are excellent and the intensity in the chorus captures you and makes the song what it is today, on of the the greatest songs for the last decade. Everlong is a good defination of being inlove and it is my defination. I would recommend the album The Color and the Shape to anyone.
