Evergreen Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Nobody knows my love
Nobody knows my love
In the gods, we hide away
Nobody ever looks up
Like the heavy summer haze
I don't see past my love

[Verse 2]
He wakes me quietly
With a kiss that lingers like evergreen
We drift so sweet
With his eyes, he speaks to me silently
Nobody knows my love
Nobody knows but us

[Chorus]
There's a world out there
That would keep us apart
Let's stay here where
We're safe in the dark

[Verse 3]
Nobody knows, my lovе
How long we've been this way
And evеr if it rains, my love
Oh, there'll be hurricanes
And rivers will come rushing through the gates
But know that we'll land somewhere
Know that we'll have somewhere
'Til it all evaporates
[Chorus]
There's a world out there
That would keep us apart
Let's stay here where
We're safe in the dark

[Bridge]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

[Outro]
Nobody knows my love
Nobody knows but us

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did Birdy say about "Evergreen"?
Genius Answer

This is written about another time, and brings joy to the record. It’s about two people who are just completely wrapped up in each other and blind to the rest of the world. I wrote it in LA, and it was actually the first time I felt I’d met people who really understood what I was trying to make. I think this is my favourite on the record—everyone was playing in the room together, and it was captured exactly as we performed it. I think you can hear that.
