Evergreen Semester

[Verse 1]
Dorm key on a carabiner
Hood up, hiking through the quad
Raincoat, flannel, shorts in winter
Yeah the dress code here is odd
Muddy Vans by the vending machine
Coffee stains on my ID card
TA talking ’bout the midterm mean
I’m just plotting out my weekend arc (woo)
[Chorus]
Evergreen semester, we don’t ever rest up
Classes in the clouds, still we pullin’ all-nighters
Laughing ’til we’re breathless, living kinda reckless
Wifi in the woods, yeah we still found lighters
We’re soaked in that Pacific rain
But we don’t complain, we dance in it (dance in it)
Evergreen semester, write my name
On a fogged-up window like I’m famous (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
Study group in a cabin lounge
Textbook open, Netflix on
One slide made, three jokes announced
Somehow still a homework bond
Bio lab at 8 a.m.
Still smell bonfire in my hair
Prof says, “Cells divide like them”
I’m like, “Same way we split bus fare”
[Chorus]
Evergreen semester, we don’t ever rest up
Classes in the clouds, still we pullin’ all-nighters
Laughing ’til we’re breathless, living kinda reckless
Wifi in the woods, yeah we still found lighters
We’re soaked in that Pacific rain
But we don’t complain, we dance in it (hey)
Evergreen semester, write my name
On a fogged-up window like I’m famous
[Bridge]
Parents think I’m in the library
I’m on a log by the river with friends
Talkin’ ’bout “What if we don’t get married?”
“What if this right here never ends?”
Snapback, sap on my sleeve
Big dreams, tiny balcony view
If this is all that I ever achieve
I still swear it felt brand new (yeah)
[Chorus]
Evergreen semester, we don’t ever rest up
Classes in the clouds, still we pullin’ all-nighters
Laughing ’til we’re breathless, living kinda reckless
Wifi in the woods, yeah we still found lighters
We’re soaked in that Pacific rain
But we don’t complain, we dance in it (dance in it)
Evergreen semester, one more wave
To the friends that turned to family this campus made

rap, Sunny mountain-pop bounce with crisp male vocals, half-sung half-rapped. Springy drums, rubbery bass, and bright acoustic guitar chops under playful verses; hook explodes with gang vocals and big synth stacks. Occasional pitched ad-libs and stop-start drum breaks keep it cheeky and festival-ready., pop, hip hop
