Trouble, well you finally found us
Yeah we were hiding where the lights are low
We were running underneath the surface
In the shadows in the afterglow
Lightning, yeah it choked the sky up
The highway humming with neon signs
The sirens not far behind us
Your hand was trembling inside of mine
Evangeline, we're almost at the border
Have you lost your mind
Getting mixed up with a boy like me
I won't forget the nights that we spent planning for it all
But it all goes by so fast
And does it ever last
Drifting through the memories
The moving pictures in my mind
Of the night I met you
When we were younger
When I first kissed you underneath the pines
Evangeline, I loved you since the day you placed your hand in mine
I'm struggling to be the man you hoped I'd be
When we began before the world came down on me
Evangeline, I loved you since the day you placed your hand in mine
I'm struggling to be the man you hoped I'd be
When we began before the world came down on me
