everlong

I think the lyrics to this song are quite possibly the most beautiful I've ever known. Especially the acoustic version, where you can hear Dave Grohl (swoon) breathing. The words themselves are enough to melt me to the core.

hello
I’ve waited here for you,
everlong
tonight, I throw myself into
and out of the red,
out of her head she sang

come down and waste away with me,
down with me
slow how
you wanted it to be
I’m over my head
out of her head she sang

and I wonder
when I sing along with you
if everything could ever feel this real forever
if anything could ever be this good again
the only thing I’ll ever ask of you
you’ve got to promise not to stop when I say when
she sang

breathe out
so I can breathe you in,
hold you in
and now, I know you’ve always been
out of your head
out of my head I sang

and I wonder
when I sing along with you
if everything could ever feel this real forever
if anything could ever be this good again
the only thing I’ll ever ask of you
you’ve got to promise not to stop when I say when
she sang

-"Everlong" (Foo Fighters)
