evermore (Feat. Taylor Swift)

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 tape, 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)
or the violence of the dog days
(Out 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
This pain wouldn't be for evermore (ooh)
Evermore
