about

"Evergreen" is a love letter to Lauren's hometown of Seattle, WA and those she loves that live there. After going to school in California, Lauren realized how much she missed Washington, and penned this tune before going back to school after her senior year winter break. Ultimately the song is an ode to the mountains, the trees, and the people that inhabit the evergreen state.

This live version of "Evergreen" was recorded at The Black Dog Cafe in Snoqualmie, WA. Shout-out to Mike Antone for capturing this recording!

The song is currently unreleased professionally- stay tuned for a produced and officially released version!

lyrics

The way the rain’s hitting the pavement
And the way you’re keeping me dry
Baby I wouldn’t change it
I couldn’t if I tried

You say my eyes are evergreen
The brightest that you’ve ever seen
You best be careful saying things like that
Those purple mountains majesty
They paint the skies for all to see
But to that world I swear I’ve turned my back
You’re all I want and all I know
And that is why it pains me so
To leave

Seattle summer kept me lonely
Until you wandered in
Decided to pay for my coffee
Darling where have you been

When you say my eyes are evergreen
And they’re brightest that you’ve ever seen
You gotta be careful when you're saying things like that
Those purple mountains majesty
They paint the skies for all to see
But to that world I swear I’ve turned my back
You’re all I see and all I know
And that is why it pains me so
To leave you here

I swear I’ve known you all my life
Just like these roads we always drive
I left to go and find myself
And the secret I swore I’d never tell
I found her at the source of all my roots

I found her in evergreens
Under the brightest stars you’ll ever see
I gotta be careful leaving things like that
Those purple mountains majesty
Bring me to tears every time I see
The beauty in my need to just come back
It’s all I want and all I know
Am I bold enough to swear I’ll never go
And stay right here
