The second single from 1997’s The Colour and the Shape. “Everlong” was penned by Dave Grohl during his split with his first wife, photographer Jennifer Youngblood.

Everlong lyrics

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 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 there
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
