Evergreen
Leanne & Naara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your tired eyes that used to come home late on Saturdays
Have traces of a different place
Sat in front of a computer screen instead of Tanqueray
And time has come to steal your youth
And you leave behind the catastrophic in exchange for the truth
And in all those times that I've lost you
And you can spend a lifetime
Trying to figure out a way to kill my lifeline
But the most enchanting fortresses is of your mind
Is the only way to keep my rhythm alive
You keep me alive
My soul yearns for you
You′ve got my whole heart
Oh, yes you do
And there's no other way but you
When we sing of love it sets me free
And I go through my day just stoked to see you after three
Oh you've both taken my hand and watched me leave
Oh a lot of things have changed but never what you mean to me
And you can spend a lifetime
Trying to figure out a way to kill my lifeline
But the most enchanting fortresses is of your mind
Is the only way to keep my rhythm alive
You keep me alive
My soul yearns for you
You′ve got my whole heart
Oh, yes you do
And there′s no other way but you
We've taken turns
We′ve crashed and burned
But it all remains intact
We just have to learn
To take it slow
Patient love is evergreen
Don't you know?
Don′t you know?
My soul yearns for you
You've got my whole heart
Oh, yes you do
My soul yearns for you
You′ve got my whole heart
Oh yes, you do
And there's no other way but you
The song "Evergreen" by Leanne & Naara is a heartfelt tribute to the enduring power of love amidst the passage of time and the changes it brings. The opening lines describe the physical changes in the person the singer is addressing. The tired eyes that used to come home late on Saturdays have been replaced with eyes that show traces of a different life - a life spent working in front of a computer rather than partying with Tanqueray. Despite these external changes, the singer reaffirms her love and commitment to the person in question. She acknowledges the challenges of growing old but sees the beauty in the transformations that come with it. The chorus emphasizes how this person is the only way to keep her rhythm alive and the only one who can satisfy her soul.
The verses then move into discussing the idea of fortresses in the mind. The most enchanting fortress being the one that this person can build in her own mind to keep the connection and love alive. This concept is further explored in the bridge of the song, where the importance of patience and learning to take things slow is emphasized as a way to keep love evergreen. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, highlighting once again the unbreakable bond between the two people.
Overall, the song is a powerful reminder that true love endures beyond the physical changes that come with age and the challenges of life. It emphasizes the importance of patience, communication, and commitment in keeping a relationship evergreen.
