An Evening I Will Not Forget / Furthest Thing - Dermot Kennedy

When love was found

I kept my hope just like I’d hoped to

Then sang to the sea for feelings deep blue

And coming down

We’ve had problems that we’ve grown through

But I bet you dream of what you could do

At seventeen, I was alright

Was like nothing I could feel inside

And wishing you were here tonight

Is like holding on

But I still get to see your face, right?

And that’s like nothing they can take, right?

So there won’t be no feeling in the firelight

Hoping this will be right

Time to show your worth, child

I remember when her heart broke over stubborn shit

That’s no way to be living kid

The angel of death is ruthless

And I’m always thinking summertime with the bikes out

Pushing our luck getting wiped out

Days with nothing but laughing loud

Underneath my coat won’t you tap my shoulder, hold my hand

Nights with nothing but dark in there

You can be my armor then

Island smiles and cardigans

The nights that we’ve been drinking in

We’re here to help you kill all of this hurt that you’ve been harboring

Confessions should be better planned

Alone, that night, I’m surely damned

Run away.

I’ll understand

What’s important is this evening I will not forget

Purple, blue, orange, red

These colors of feeling, give me love, I’ll put my heart in it

And I think about it all the time

The lights went out, you were fine

You kinda struggle not to shine

I still love you though

I still love you though

I still love you always

So hold me when I’m home, keep the evenings long

Crack and break and part ways

I still love you though

I still love you though

I still love you always

So hold me when I’m home, keep the evenings long

Let’s not crack and break and part ways

And I wonder if I could let her down

Furthest Thing:

Somewhere between psychotic and iconic

Somewhere between I want it and I got it

Somewhere between I’m sober and I’m lifted

Somewhere between a mistress and commitment

But I stay down, girl I always stay down, get down, never lay down

Promise to break everybody off before I break down

Everyone just wait now, so much on my plate now

People I believed in they don’t even show they face now

What they got to say now?

Nothin' they can say now

Nothin' really changed but still they look at me a way now

What more can I say now?

What more can I say now?

You might feel like nothin' was the same

I still been drinkin' on the low, mobbin' on the low

Fuckin' on the low, smokin' on the low

I still been plottin' on the low, schemin' on the low

The furthest thing from perfect like everyone I know, yeah

And I hate that you don’t think I belong to you

Just too busy runnin' this to run home to you

You know that paper my passion

Bittersweet celebrations, I know I can’t change what happened

I can’t help it, I can’t help it, I was young and I was selfish

I made every woman feel like she were mine and no one else’s

And now you hate me, stop pretendin', stop frontin', I can’t take it

Girl don’t treat me like a stranger, girl you know I seen you naked

Girl you know that I remember, don’t be a pretender

Gettin' high at the condo, that’s when it all comes together

You know I stay reminiscing and make-up sex is tradition

But you been missin' girl and you might feel like nothin' was the same

I still been drinkin' on the low, mobbin' on the low

Fuckin' on the low, smokin' on the low

I still been plottin' on the low, schemin' on the low

The furthest thing from perfect

An Evening I Will Not Forget:

And I wonder if I could let her down

It’s for real, it’s for real

It’s for real, it’s for real
