Dermot Kennedy - An Evening I Will Not Forget

When love was found,
I kept my hope just like I'd hoped to,
Then sang to the sea for feelings deep blue.

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 armour 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 harbouring.

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, and orange, red,
These colours of feeling, give me love, I'll put my heart in it.

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..
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..
Hold me when I'm home, keep the evenings long, crack and break and part ways..

And I wonder if I could let her down

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 their face now

What they got to say now?
Nothing they can say now
Nothing 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 nothing was the same
I still been drinking on the low
Mobbin' on the low
Fuckin' on the low
Smokin' on the low
I still been plotting on the low
Scheming on the low
The furthest thing from perfect like everyone I know

And I hate that you don't think I belong to you
Just too busy running shit to run home to you
You know that paper my passion
Bitter-sweet 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 was mine and no one else's
Now you hate me
Stop pretending, stop that fronting
I can't take it
Girl, don't treat me like a stranger
Girl, you know I've seen you naked
Girl, you know that I remember
Don't be a pretender
Getting high at the condo
That's when it all comes together
You know I stay reminiscing
And make-up sex is tradition
But you've been missing, girl
And you might feel like nothing was the same
But I still been drinking on the low
Mobbin' on the low
Fuckin' on the low
Smokin' on the low
I still been plotting on the low
Scheming on the low
The furthest thing from perfect
And I wonder if I can let it down

It's for real, it's for real
It's for real, it's for real
