Michael Penn - Evenfall Lyrics

If you wipe the slate

let me start again from this moment on

We've been through this before

every single time that i thought you had gone

Well I'm out of reserve

I'm out of my wherewithal,

but when the moment comes

when I've got nothing left

I find I've got it all

see what I know

I can't always believe

a poison kiss

can taste like a reprieve

and once again, i'm caught up from the evenfall.

I know it's late

I'm never in this frame of mind any earlier

I can judge the hour by

how much of what I see

is no more than a blur

Well I'm down on my knees

looking for some kind of antidote

When that moment comes

I keep one thing in mind that keeps my head afloat

What I believe

ain't always what I feel

another chance can sting like naked steel

and once again I'm caught up from the evenfall

It's a mystery can't you see

why you'd still be here with me

I don't need no guarantee

but don't even turn from me

don't ever turn me away.
