Everything Goes On Lyrics

[Chorus: Porter Robinson]
Don't try to make yourself remember
Darling Don’t look for me
I'm just a story you've been told
So let’s pretend a little longer
'Cuz when we're gone
Everything goes on

[Verse 1: Porter Robinson]
Well, you were staring at the window
And said, "I wanna take you to the sea"
And when I'm better, we'll do everything
I gotta stop making promises I can't keep

[Pre-Chorus: Porter Robinson]
But if I was gone tomorrow
Won't the waves crash on?
Is it selfish that I'm happy as
We pass the setting sun?
Someday I’ll bе overcast
But you won’t have to cry
Cuz wе'll do the grieving
But I’m by your side, I said:

[Chorus: Porter Robinson]
Don't try to make yourself remember
Darling Don't look for me
I'm just a story you’ve been told
So let's pretend a little longer
'Cuz when you're gone
Everything goes on

[Verse 2: Porter Robinson]
And I'm so scared of getting used to this
All the vines that keep you tethered in your room
Someday both of us are leaving here
But for now I'll just bring the sea to you, oh

[Pre-Chorus: Porter Robinson]
When you meet me in the daylight
Like we did before
Then I felt you on my shoulder
And you weren't suffering anymore
You said, "I'm sorry that you worry
But don't apologize"
I told you to forget me
But you stayed by my side
When I said:

[Outro: Porter Robinson]
Don't try to make yourself remember
Darling Don't look for me
I'm just a story you've been told
So let's pretend a little longer
'Cuz when you're gone
Everything goes on
