[Verse 1]
Evelyn, Evelyn, they're all asking where we've been
And I don't know what to say to keep them all away
Part of me wishes what they're saying was true
Wishes that I could ever be with you
Evelyn, Evelyn, I won't tell them anything
But somebody saw us and their minds are wandering
I could live happily in the stories they tell
Happy with you and nobody else
[Chorus]
Evelyn, our relationship was strictly platonic
If platonic means I was madly in love with you
And a part of you was oblivious
Another part of you knew and kind of liked it
[Verse 2]
Evelyn, Evelyn, I will go with you then
I don't want you alone if they're out there picketing
It's on the way back to my dad's house
I can't believe some of the shit that comes out their mouths
Evelyn, Evelyn, you were so quiet and then
You said, "I don't regret a single thing
Everyone argues about when life begins
Nobody talks about when the love begins"
[Chorus]
Evelyn, our relationship was strictly platonic
If platonic means I was madly in love with you
And a part of you was oblivious
Another part of you knew and kinda liked it
Evelyn, our relationship was strictly platonic
If platonic means I was madly in love with you
And a part of you was oblivious
Another part of you knew and kinda liked it
[Outro]
Evelyn, Evelyn

I’ve always been drawn to finding people
experiencing intense feelings together but not necessarily reciprocally towards each other. There are two separate love stories happening in the song and that’s kinda interesting to me.
