Evelyn Everywhere

things have changed, although some things just can't help but stay the same.
and people say, "that's okay."
she and I, we speak across a great divide.
she goes long, and I go wide.
things have changed, but not between us; we are just the same.
people talk about what's between us, but I know
we're all just sparks
we're all little lights, alone in the dark,
and evelyn, everyone else is a mystery to me.
how, oh how, did I unearth a girl so rare?
oh, evelyn, everywhere you go, I will be there.

if I was smart, I'd figure out why life's so goddamn hard,
and why it's keeping us apart.
me and her are the only ones who care about me and her,
or so I guess; I'm not sure.
if I was smart, we'd be together, instead of all alone.
people talk about being together, cos they know
we're all just sparks

evelyn, when we touch, it's okay. we overcome
everything. evelyn, when we play, you let me win.
you make me strong; you keep me here; you make me smile; we get along
despite the space that we both feel, between the sparks that make us real.
it's not the miles that keep us apart...
it's our goddamn hearts
cos we're all just sparks
