Evangeline

Lyrics

Dude: you ready?
 Kef: yeah yeah
 Dude: alright, we're rollin'
 Kef: if you show me something precious,
 I will show you someone blue,
 And we'll calculate what drives me straight to you
 The fascination kindled like a spark becomes a flame,
 And then the fire thickens,
 And my heart quickens,
 Every measure i hear your name
 Evangeline
 Evangeline
 Well can you feature an adorable creature
 More appealing than this world has ever seen?
 Evangeline
 Evangeline
 Her face made equal to the minature features
 Of a hand-made porcelain figurine
 Dude: did you just say 'porcelain figurine?'
 Kef: well, yeah. there's only a handful of words you can rhyme with- y'know what? just don't worry about it.
 Dude: right.
 Kef: if i ever fall abandoned on a desert made in blue,
 I would only wish to spend each day with you
 Essential artless charm from which impossible to wean
 It only amplifies those lips those eyes and every freckle that's in between
 Evangeline
 Evangeline
 Far more beauty in a single view than on the pages of a fashion magazine
 Evangeline
 Evangeline
 Can you feature an adorable creature more appealing than this world has ever seen?
 Evangeline
 And you know i'd never forget you
 Until i have you in my arms
 Dude: uh dude, she's gonna think you're a stalker...
 Kef: i'm trying to do a solo here
 Dude: yeah but i mean, you should think about how this is gonna be perceived because i mean, it's a little... crazy you know?
 I recognize and risk absurdity to call your name this way
 But i fear there might not be another way
 Effortless sparkle shines around the angel in your name,
 And if i never laid my eyes on you i know i wouldn't be the same
 Evangeline
 Evangeline
 Far more beauty in a single view than on the pages of a fashion magazine
 Evangeline
 Evangeline
 To spend an hour in the grip of your power could make any other moment feel a little routine
 Evangeline
 Evangeline
 If i imagine any kind of beauty pageant you are making all adjacent competition look obscene
 Evangeline
 Evangeline
 How could i ever fabricate another woman as my lover there's no other one i'd rather here to be
 Evangeline
 Dude: (laughs) you are such a jackass!
 Kef: yeah, okay, you don't have to-
 Dude: (singing) evangeliiiiiine!
 Kef: alright that's enou-
 Dude: (singing) i love yooou!
 Kef: alright, fine!
 Dude: (still singing): will you come back pleeeeease?!
