Evergreen

The conversation's rising above me
The situation's sizing me up
My many flaws used to go unseen
Now my limitations are evergreen

I close my eyes for fear that the light will blind me
I seal my lips for fear of whom I'll betray
I turn my head for fear that my face will be seen
For my motivations are evergreen

Evergreen
And weak at the seams
Autographed dreams
I know where they've been
Evergreen
But who knows the way for me?

And you can read me like a front-page story
Sometimes coloured though often black and white
Flick right through me or leave me on the stand
Or you can rip me up with your bear hands

Evergreen
And weak at the seams
Autographed dreams
I know where they've been
Evergreen
And you deserve better than me

Evergreen
And weak at the seams
Everyone's pin-up
I know what that means
Evergreen
But who knows the way for me?
