Evenfall Lyrics - Michael Penn

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.
