Capo on second fret


Oh, Everly, please don't leave, I want to be with you forever.

Everly, I know you don't see, that I still want us to be together.

And I still think of you, I wish you still thought of me too.

So Everly, please don't leave, please don't us severed.

And I don't wanna lose you, but it looks like I might just have to,

Please don't misconstrue what I'm tryin' to say to you.


I mean I got you in a picture in my mind, romanticizing you through time,

Like you'd still wanna be with me like my face is somethin' you'd wanna see.

And I can't find a bunch of good ol' days, but I don't think they just went away.

Maybe I was blind to see, blind to be, fell in love with a girl like you fell a tree,

Tell me that I need to move on,

Tell me that she doesn't think about me at night,

Tell me that she doesn't even really miss me sometimes,

Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me


Oh, Everly, please don't leave, I want to be with you forever.

Everly, I know you don't see, that I still want us to be together.

And I still think of you, I wish you still thought of me too,

So Everly, please don't leave, please don't leave us severed.

And I don't wanna lose you, but it looks like I might just have to,

Please don't misconstrue what I'm tryin' to say to you.


I wish I could think of you in reality, like that you still liked me,

Or would even wanna talk to me, or that you'd even wanna hear my voice.

Remember the things we'd say? Like how you could make me happy?

Or how you said how much you trusted me?

Doesn't look like you trust me now.

I might see a photo of you on Facebook, and it might kill me to take another look

When you leave, for Arizona or something, will you even remember me?


Oh, Everly, please don't leave, I want to be with you forever.

Everly, I know you don't see, that I still want us to be together.

And I still think of you, I wish you still thought of me too.

So Everly, please don't leave, please don't my heart severed.

And I don't wanna lose you, but it looks like I might just have to,

Please don't misconstrue what I'm tryin' to say to you.


I want to remember the exact way your face looks, in front of me, so lovely.

Yeah, the beauty of your eyes and your face, and the precise way your freckles are placed.

And I wish I could recall the way your hair smells,

Yeah, the scent of you, seepin' through, memories soaked blue,

Like sittin' in your car talkin', sittin' in a classroom laughin', 

At a show with your head on my shoulder and maybe almost whisperin'.

We skipped through the streets of Denver with lights shinin' down,

Our classmates all around.

Arm in arm, just friends, oh boy I didn't know it'd turn out like this.

God's good, it did.


Oh, Everly, please don't leave, I want to be with you forever.

Everly, I know you don't see, that I still want us to be together.

And I still think of you, I wish you still thought of me too.

So Everly, please don't leave, please don't my heart severed.

And I don't wanna lose you, but it looks like I might just have to,

Please don't misconstrue what I'm tryin' to say to you.
