"Everest" lyrics

You exhausted and accosted.
Defeated and depressed.
You feel like giving up before you start up on your quest.
It's too epic; Feel pathetic.
Peers projecting all their fears.
They insult you. It's tumultuous.
It's resulting in tears.

All these climbers think they're fine, but time will tell the tale.
Incline plains can be insane. Be prepared to feel the fail.
I know you will is strong and you're steady on your feet.
I know your strength might feel buried, but it's not buried very deep.
You're far away from home. It seems lost off in the distance.
Home base was such a place that you don't miss it in this instance.
You're more likely to miss my face. My kisses keep you safe.
Your mind starts getting painful. I'm your angel. Just have faith.

There's a lonely zone of death that has claimed so many souls.
There's a skirmish in the sky and in the minds of those below.
Some are searching for the summit and they see the clouds at dawn.
Some are freezing as they plummet into the great beyond.

And we'll never reach the tip-top if we don't give it all we have.
And we'll never get some respect if we succumb to being sad.
I'm not the cleverest but ever since we met I guess, I forget my past.
Time to climb Mount Everest; It's endless. Only our best will make it last.

Life is meaningless before you. I've been better ever since.
Now you're here and I can feel life can be difficult and tense.
Enough air for us to breathe as we proceed into these heights.
When we fight, will we recover or will we split up just for spite?
I doubt it's as we thought it. We protect it with our lives.
Every step is towards our dreams. Every stride is towards the sky.
Everybody that we pass makes us treasure all the travels.
You can never know peace without checking off your battles.

The mountain makes decisions. All you can give it is respect.
You can train and not complain and give it nothing but your best.
Anything less is questioned; Can be seen as contempt.
The mountain's always listening. So don't be tempted by death.
Life is so much better. The rewards will never end.
We're forever tethered and you're my forever friend.
Hang in there. I've got your back. This is just another test.
Soon we'll be back in our bed, or we'll forever rest.

And we'll never reach the tip-top if we don't give it all we have.
And we'll never get some respect if we succumb to being sad.
I'm not the cleverest but ever since we met I guess, I forget my past.
Time to climb Mount Everest; It's endless. Only our best will make it last.

And we'll never reach the tip-top if we don't give it all we have.
And we'll never get some respect if we succumb to being sad.
I'm not the cleverest but ever since we met I guess, I forget my past.
Time to climb Mount Everest; It's endless. Only our best will make it last.

(Only our best will make it last.)
(Only our best will make it last.)
