Emilie Autumn - Ever Lyrics






I've been racing for you, honey
But you take your love
From under my feet
The very moment I arrive
I hold the invitation in my hand
You smile and I don't understand
When you tell me the writing ain't yours
You were the one thing I could count on
Even if your apathy was what I expected
Oh, darling, I waited and waited to feel your footsteps
And to hear your breath
But maybe I just wanted someone to wait for

You were ever in my mind
You were behind my soul each time
I held it to the flame
You were ever in my precious thoughts
I'd leave a room of angels
Just to be alone
If only to say your name
I never told you I needed you, darling
Like a rose needs the rain
How could you possibly know how much?
So I reach for your love
Like the moon and the stars
Ever in my sight
Ever out of touch

There's a spotlight of a holy kind
Think it comes from somewhere
Up in the sky or from some far off, lovely place
But this light never, ever, ever shone on me
At least as far as I could see
So I sat in the dark and I watched you
Now I just cry to myself
When there's no one around
And I teach myself to walk backwards
Out of any given situation
Yes, I can be graceful and try
Not to step on my train and
You don't have to say goodbye
But I'll be right here if you want to

You were ever in my mind
You were behind my soul each time
I held it to the flame
You were ever in my precious thoughts
I'd leave a room of angels
Just to be alone
If only to say your name
I never told you I needed you, darling
Like a rose needs the rain
How could you possibly know how much?
So I reach for your love
Like the moon and the stars
Ever in my sight
Ever out of touch

Now, I could paint your portrait
If I never saw you again
When I am old someone may ask me
If I ever loved
And I will speak but they won't recognize
My words, they'll say I'm telling lies
And maybe I am
Maybe I am
All I know is

You were ever in my mind
You were behind my soul each time
I held it to the flame
You were ever in my precious thoughts
I'd leave a room of angels
Just to be alone
If only to say your name
I never told you I needed you, darling
Like a rose needs the rain
How could you possibly know how much?
So I reach for your love
Like the moon and the stars
Ever in my sight
Ever out of touch
I never told you I needed you, darling
Like a rose needs the rain
How could you possibly know how much?
So I reach for your love
Like the moon and the stars
Ever in my sight
Ever out of touch

Emilie Autumn Ever Comments
  1. S.... D....

    This song fucks me up

  2. J.... S....

    will we ever have sheet music for this song?

  3. F.... ....

    She sure can play the piano.

  4. J.... M....

    To me, this song takes me back to when I was sixteen.

  5. R.... P....

    As much I love this song I don't understand the meaning or hidden message in this song may someone help me?

    R.... P....

    She sings about unrequited love.
    the lyrics speaks about someone who ever loves another person, and always wanted to be loved for him/her, even if he/she was cold and cutting.
    But that never happened.
    She always loved him, and always wanted for a chance, but, he married with somebody else. Then she feels all the world falling over her, because everything she did, every tought she had, was dedicated to him.
    She understood she never had any chance to be with him, but in the bottom of her heart, she will love him forever, even if his love was like the moon, ever in her sight, but ever out of reach

  6. P.... B....

    me sinto compreendido por essa musica.
    te amo emilie autumn.

  9. �.... �....

    My soul is moan, when I hear these lyric...

  10. D.... D....

    ;~; this song is sooooo accurate right now

  11. K.... ....

    made me cry. Y^Y

  12. A.... O....

    This is made on my birthday ^^

  13. K.... B....

    First I just heard the beautiful melody and understood a few words of the lyrics but now as I read it I can finaly understand how deep and meaningfull this is. It made me cry. Not to be mean but Emilies music is so more meaningfull than any popular "mainstream" singers songs. Emilie puts the dark beauty in her songs and thats what makes her the best! <3

  14. K.... ....

    Ehm, no.

  15. J.... C....

    This song sound a lot like "Love Ridden" by Fiona Apple .-.

    J.... C....

    Luis Millan I used to see the obvious influence of Fiona Apple in her earlier work. But this, in some parts, are just Apple's lyrics. Different words, yes, but same meaning. This might actually be Autumn's attempt at Love Ridden

  16. C.... M....

    This song sounds like it was written for me, it describes my situation so perfectly. Than You Emilie! All the cupcakes and tea in the world to you!

  17. R.... R....

    This is probably my absoulute fave emilie song of all time :'3

  18. j.... j....

    She is soo awesome

  19. G.... D....

    This song of emilie is a copy of the style of fiona apple.

  20. A.... M....

    Yes, I do believe this song is on Enchant :)

  21. M.... P....

    At risk of being laughed at, I must ask. Which album is this on? Is it on Enchant? Because as someone who's been listening to EA for years...I've never heard it. o.O

    M.... P....

    Madison Purtell it is on Enchant

  22. k.... ....

    i don't know what to say. this is just great, I can't even describe how much this made me feel T_T :(

  23. s.... ....

    now that you know that I love you, this song says why I couldn't keep it to myself anymore...

  24. d.... c....

    I just love this song and I really love her! <3

  25. R.... R....

    i love you right now

  26. I.... ....

    I love you, Emilie..

  27. k.... ....

    this song reminds me of Grell from kuroshitsuji :)

  28. a.... ....

    This is before she went to the asylum right?
    I can tell the difference in her writing and sound.

    a.... ....

    allisoneatscherries Yes in Opheliac was the time where she was going to the asylum but in FLAG she got back from the asylum

  29. T.... ....

    you should have put "fin"

  30. T.... ....

    this sounds like it belongs in a movie

  31. N.... ....

    Many people love for what she stands for, others for her music, but all have their reason for loving her. But for me, it is VERY personal, I live her music, seeing her live was life changing, & on top of that, once again, she saved me, I may not be fixed, but I am now given something to keep me going day by day, that gental breath to keep the dimming ember within me from going out. & though it may be day by day I live, I still live.

  32. N.... ....

    Thank god we both found Emilie Autumn, I hafta, not trying to be dramatic or anything, but if i hadn't become a fan of hers, i probably wouldn't be here, she really did save me, especially after I listened to "A Plea for the Dying", That specifically saved me when I was on the threshold of ending it all. She is an inspiration, & my light. Even now, it is really difficult to go on, especially cuz of my current situation, I press forward for the simple reason of hoping I can be as strong as her.

  33. N.... ....

    I know what you mean, I'm going through a situation so much like this, & this takes every possible word out of my mouth, it's amazingly scary how close to home this song is. It's so very beautiful, but it makes me really sad too, I guess i got to listen to he "One Foot in Front of the Other Foot" song in an attempt to raise my spirits.

  34. N.... T....

    This song sounds so much like Fiona Apple to me, doesn't it?

  35. A.... A....

    "Like a rose needs the rain?"
    I always thought that it was
    "Like a horse needs the reigns"
    Us wild chicks often need a grounded man to tame us,
    I thought that he was the reigns to her wild horse...

    A.... A....

    Hahaha damn

  36. M.... ....

    @xSugarIace Thank you so much ! <3

  37. t.... ....

    i love this song, and yes its a good video :)
