"Everlong" Single from the album The Colour and the Shape
"Everlong" is the second single released from the Foo Fighters' second album The Colour and the Shape , released in 1997.

It was eventually recorded as part of the second set of sessions, which took place at Grandmaster Recorders in January-February 1997.
Meaning[]
"Everlong" was written after Dave Grohl's break-up with his first wife, Jennifer Youngblood. Grohl has said himself that the song is about "being connected to someone so much that not only do you love them physically and spiritually, but when you sing along with them you harmonize perfectly."
Lyrics[]
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 gotta 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 gotta promise not to stop when I say when she sang
And I wonder
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
