Extreme Olive - The Evening

I'm particular I'm expensive, so it were but Nothing of value traces the back of my hand Until your fingers Please don't leave me in the dark I could never navigate these halls On my own without your torch You're exceptional I've been crushing on you so hard That when you leave me I'm a fucking mess I don't know what to do with my hands And please don't leave me in the dark I could never navigate these halls On my own without your torch I'm particular Fucking expensive You're exceptional I've been crushing on you so hard That when you leave me I'm a fucking mess I don't know what to do with my hands I'm begging you love me Come and light the flame To guide me through this humble maze I'm particular (particular) I'm expensive so it were (expensive) but Nothing of value traces the back of my hand Until your fingers And please don't leave me in the dark I could never navigate these halls On my own without your torch

Who I was three years ago would have a crush on me today She'd take secret videos from the back of the house while I'm on stage Ask, "Who did your tattoos?" and, "If you're ever in the mood I'd love to take you out so I could learn a thing or two" Who I am today would think that 21-year-old was sweet I'd indulge her bright-eyed inquiries and wouldn't tell her she's naïve And though she'd think I had it all figured out I'd let her know I'm full of headaches, fear and doubt But I'd say thank you for reminding me what this whole thing's about I guess I've grown a lot and you have showed me how I get caught up in the forward crawl I forget to see the beauty of it all They say just be yourself, but they forget that order's tall I'm still tryna find it But this slightly younger self helps me recall Who I'll be three years from now will have some shit to say to me Relax your furrowed brow, there ain't no reason to worry And if you feel like giving up You gotta remember that you're tough You'll find your power in the tears that line your cheeks Who I am today would ask that older person for some cheats But I'd secretly hope they wouldn't give any to me And in my fantasy they've got it figured out And all their confidence outweighs their minor doubts But I'm wise enough to know that's not what this whole thing's about I got some growing left and you've showed me how I get caught up in the forward crawl I forget to see the beauty of it all They say just be yourself, but they forget that order's tall I may never find it Don't really mind that Cause this scrappy band of all the different versions of myself They never fail To catch me when I fall

A summer day is gone Listen to the evening wind Singing tunes of tamarind Into the setting sun You lie in twilight sleep Dreaming colors deep Today all life is gone Look at the golden chalice Plight broken on the ground Green fire blazing round Where are your friends You see all hope Lying broken on the slope Today all life is gone Have you ever listened to the evening wind To the gentle breeze and its truth Have a listen and you will see, my friend Wind is telling you the truth

When evening shadows fall Minutes seem so long When evening shadows fall Waiting for the dawn Miss you every night Just about this time You're always on my mind When evening shadows fall When evening shadows fall End up staring at the wall Even when you're gone The feeling's all so strong Want you back home Back where you belong So I can sing my song When evening shadows fall Well I'm living in a dream And it s getting too late Yeah you call my name And I'm wide awake It might as well be night Hope that you're alright Well I just can't wait To get you in my sight Here every day Just about this time From dusk till dawn When evening shadows fall Well I'm living in a dream And it s getting too late Yeah you call my name And I'm wide awake It might as well be night Hope that things are alright Well I just can't wait To get you in my sight I'm here every nighty 'Bout this time When evening shadows fall You're always on my mind When evening shadows fail You're always on my mind When evening shadows fall

If you only knew how much I loved you The sky would open up and shut from Heaven above So come on, open up and give me your love, babe Tell me I'm the one you've been dreaming of We're dancing in the dark, we're spinning in circles I'll take you to the top, where the beat don't stop So sweet, all over Tell me that you need me again I wanna take you high Into the night Like the stars in the sky We could live out our lives I wanna take you high Into the night Like the stars in the sky We could live out our lives If you only knew how much I refuse to Let you on your way, even though you're gone Maybe you would come back and show me the way now Don't leave me in the dark here, on my own Hanging by a thread from the love that you're spinning Somehow hanging on, as it's falling apart So sweet, all over Tell me that you need me again I wanna take you high Into the night Like the stars in the sky We could live out our lives I wanna take you high (high) Into the night (into the night) Like the stars in the sky (sky) We could live out our lives
