Part 1 Taylor Swift
Part 2 Justin Vernon
Intro
Gray November I've been down since July
Motion capture put me in a bad light
I replay my footsteps on each stepping stone
Trying to find the one where I went wrong
Writing letters addressed to the fire
And I was catching my breath
Staring out an open window, catching my death
And I couldn't be sure
I had a feeling so peculiar
That this pain would be for evermore
Hey December guess I'm feeling unmoored
Can't remember what I used to fight for
I rewind the tap but all it does is pause
On the very moment all was lost
Sending signals to be double crossed
And I was catching my breath
Barefoot in the wildest winter
Catching my death
And I couldn't be sure
I had a feeling so peculiar
That this pain would be for
Evermore
(Evermore)
Can't not think of all the cost and the things that will be lost
Oh, can we just get a pause?
To be certain we'll be tall again
Whether weather be the frost or the violence of the dog days
I'm on waves, out being tossed
Is there a line that I could just go cross?
And when I was shipwrecked
(Can't think of all the cost)
I thought of you
(All the things that will be lost now)
In the cracks of light
(Can we just get a pause?)
I dreamed of you
(To be certain we'll be tall again)
(If you think of all the costs)
It was real enough
(Whether weather be the frost)
To get me through
(Or the violence of the dog days)
I'm on waves, being tossed
(I'm on waves, out being tossed)
I swear
(Is there a
line that we could just go cross?)
You were there
And I was catching my breath
Floors of a cabin creaking under my step
And I couldn't be sure
I had a feeling so peculiar
This pain wouldn't be for
Evermore
Evermore
(Evermore)
Evermore
(Evermore)
This pain wouldn't be for evermore
Evermore
