Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Follow you around until it's time, time to leave
Swimming into the idea of your scene
There all the while, proving patiently
I earned to lie by you when you fall asleep
[Chorus]
Hang up a sheet
Between our things
Won't have to see
Evidence
Evidence
[Verse 2]
I watched you put on a dress I'd never seen
Something that begged for East Atlantic breeze
There all the while, hated quietly
There, just to see a smile... anything
[Chorus]
Hang up a sheet
Between our things
Won't have to see
Evidence
[Post-Chorus]
You did what you did
The memory lives
Nothing cleans
Evidence
Evidence
[Instrumental break]
[Chorus]
Hang up a sheet
Between our things
Won't have to see
Evidence
[Post-Chorus]
You did what you did
The memory lives
Nothing cleans
Evidence
[Outro]
Evidence [7x]
Recording Details
From Bullz eye Interview http://www.bullz-eye.com/music/interviews/2010/jim_adkins.htm
"BE: “Evidence” has some striking imagery in it. Can you tell us the back story behind that song?
JA: It’s one of those things where you can take what you want from it. But that was written from the perspective of someone who is living with a person that they just broke up with. It’s such an awkward situation for both parties. On one hand, you have this shared experience, but it feels so strange to be around each other now. You walk around the rooms and see things staring at you that remind you of the relationship."
From Get Alternative Article https://www.getalternative.com/it-holds-up-jimmy-eat-worlds-invented-turns-10/
