0:31Hello
0:34I've waited here for you
0:38Everlong
0:42Tonight
0:44I throw myself into
0:49And out of the red, out of her head, she sang
0:55♪
1:03Come down
1:06And waste away with me
1:10Down with me
1:14Slow how
1:17You wanted it to be
1:21I'm over my head, out of her head she sang
1:28And I wonder, when I sing along with you
1:37If everything could ever feel this real forever
1:43If anything could ever be this good again
1:49The only thing I'll ever ask of you
1:52You gotta promise not to stop when I say when
1:57She sang
2:00♪
2:09Breathe out
2:11So I can breathe you in
2:15Hold you in
2:19And now
2:22I know you've always been there
2:26Out of your head, out of my head I sang
2:31♪
2:34And I wonder, when I sing along with you
2:42If everything could ever feel this real forever
2:48If anything could ever be this good again
2:54The only thing I'll ever ask of you
2:57You gotta promise not to stop when I say when
3:02She sang
3:05♪
3:30And I wonder
3:34If everything could ever feel this real forever
3:39If anything could ever be this good again
3:46The only thing I'll ever ask of you
3:49You gotta promise not to stop when I say when
3:55♪
