Lyrics Evangeline Brian Vander Ark

Evangeline

I used to be a big star, depending on who you ask
Made a million friends in minutes, but the minutes didn't last
The melody escapes me, your brightness all around
You're the reason that the light is faster than the speed of sound

With everything we have in mind for you
It's most important that you find

That 'use to be's' mean nothing and 'gonna be's' are fine
Bt you always were and always will be our Evangeline

Now, go on be a big star, hit 'em hard and fast
Just make sure the answers don't depend on who you ask
'Cause they might tell you some things, they might leave you alone
Just don't listen if they tell you 'You can never go back home'

When everything is said and done, the beauty is the best is yet to come

And 'use to be's' mean nothing and 'gonna be's' are fine
But you always were and always will be our Evangeline

Slips and falls and fingers burned
Treat them all as lessons learnedRelationships might end in flames
But the chance to love is worth the pain

And 'use to be's' mean nothing and 'gonna be's' are fine
But you always were and always will be our Evangeline
'Cause 'use to be's' mean nothing and 'gonna be's' are fine
But you always were and always will be our Evangeline

Slips and falls and fingers burned
Treat them all as lessons learned
Relationships might end in flames
But the chance to love is worth the pain

And whether weak or being tough
Being good is good enough
'Cause being good is all you can do
But sometimes bad is okay too
